How do the pros serve to Joo Se Hyuk?

Dead and low balls will be more effective with lower level players because they usually pop it up or push it out side or return really weak but JSH or KKA will be able to return them low and still carries backspin so that is only one option. Yes the key is variety so they will use both low and dead balls and normal serves to the forehand also like Ma Lin he serves with tons of side spin to Joo's forehand and backhand and attack the next one since he reads the spin well. You can watch the latest video of Ma Lin vs JSH in Guangzhou, Ma Lin did lots of back+sidespin serves. But they mostly serve to their forehand to avoid the annoying long pips otherwise they have been planning to serve to the LP side and do something next already.

JH is such a special player in my books the greatest defender I have ever seen. Short balls wont worry players at such a high level and to be honest,as I am not near that level my suggestion here will most probably be invalid.

I think serving short is the worst thing you can do to a pips player. Everytime I've done this they've managed to return it at such sharp angles that it becomes very difficult to even get the ball back.

The most success I've had is long fast dead balls or fast low balls with slight underspin. Next shot will be a top-spin shot or a hard drive. If they return that then it goes into the loop-loop-drop-shot-top-spin-loop-loop sequence.
