Rules
jDuring service my opponent hits his part of table very hard with ball that it crosses net very high, jumps into my part of table and touches my head if i am standing straight. Is this service legal? Height of ball from net when it crosses the net is almost 1 meter.
Hi Hassan,
Yes that is a legal serve. As long as he is throwing the ball up off his hand correctly.
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.
