Hi Martin,

This is OK in the rules.  

It is sometimes difficult to do though.  Try just modifying your shakehand grip for the serve.  Do this by taking your last three fingers off the handle, then make a fist with them and put them behind the handle.  This will make it easier to get back to the normal shakehand grip for the rally.

This is covered in our Serving DVD, Serving Secrets Revealed as well.
