I found an interesting video on YouTube called "the amazing serve of Keiko Okazaki". She has a very unique style of service that is sort of fun to watch. She starts with a pre-windup that looks similar to Ichiro Suzuki's baseball batting stance. She can also put a mean sidespin curve on these balls.

That's one of the beautiful things about table tennis; you can really be unique and develop a style that nobody has ever tried before. In most other major sports, there is very little style variation; almost all of the players look the same. Same tennis serve, same baseball swing. Table tennis has so much diversity to appreciate, even in our equipment (cork in our bats isn't a crime!).

I'll always admire creativity in this sport. It really sets table tennis apart from the sports that are so heavily focused on just physical strength. An experienced 50-yr-old can defeat a 24-year-old at his prime when he uses his (or her) mind to employ strategy and exploit the opponent's weaknesses.
