When serving is it a fault to throw the ball up and not hit the ball on the way down? i.e. choose not to make a stroke

Hi Tim,

That is a fault and the other player's point.  As soon as you throw the ball up it is definitely in play and you need to make a good serve.

If the ball hits any part of the top of the table then the ball is in play. If it only hits the side of the table then it is out.
