Description
The Modern Table Tennis 102 DVD features instruction from 1996 Olympic Team member Wei Wang and five time U.S. Men's Champion Sean O'Neill on serve and receive techniques. The program covers basic strategies and includes demonstrations from international competitions. However, some of the serves shown may no longer be legal due to a rule change regarding the server's free arm. The technical portions of the program are still valid, but the free arm must now be pulled back after the ball is projected.

Since this program was produced, the international rules of table tennis regarding serves have been modified to state: "As soon as the ball has been projected, the server's free arm shall be removed from the space between the server's body and the net." In some of the serves in this program, Wei's arm remains in front, which under that rule change is no longer legal. All technical portions of this program remain valid, with the modification that the free arm must be pulled back after the ball is projected.
