Bat passing over the table during serve
Rules
Dariusz Rypień Asked 3 years ago
Hello,
I’ve got a question concerning the legaility of serving (particularly reverse pendulum serve). So basically I’m familiar with the serving rules. But when it comes to the reverse a pendulum serve I have some doubts. So I always try to contact the ball a little bit away from table, but the question is if it okay to go with your bat a little bit forward above the table after the contact?

Hi Dariusz,
The bat is allowed to move over the playing surface at any time including after the server has hit the ball. Just when you are hitting the ball the contact must be behind the end line.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
