Hiding serving hand

Rules

Michael Peterson Asked 6 years ago

Hi,

I was wondering if I am allowed to hide my serving hand (holding the bat) before I strike the ball for a serve? I might use different grips for different serves and don't want my opponent to know what serve I am about to do. So could I keep my hand behind me while setting up for my ball throw?

Hi Michael,

Yes you are allowed to hide your serving hand. There are no restrictions on this.

It can be a good strategy to disguise the serve you are doing for a little longer and give your opponent as little time as possible to gauge the serve that is coming.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
