Hiding The Contact
Rules
Aasim Showkat Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois,
I know that while doing service we can't hide the contact of ball and bat but after doing serve can we hide the contact below the table or behind our body, to distract the opponent.

Hi Aasim,
During a rally there is no restriction on this. You are allowed to let the ball drop below the table and make a shot from there. However I wouldn't recommend this. You'll put yourself into a far worse position by trying something tricky. You are better off during the rally getting into a good position and executing a decent stroke.

If hiding a serve is forbidden,how can I make sure that it will be difficult for my opponent to recognize what spin is on the ball?
By disguising the action of the service swing and the contact. We have a section on this in our Serving Secrets lessons for Premium members.

That is the problem: "Premium"

And .... is it somehow possible to serve using the full-arm swing ?
For serving you need to use you your wrist because this moves the fastest.
D K Posted 10 years ago
I know. But can I somehow add the arm movement?
Because I really do not know how to further increase my spin.
I am doing some mistake while training services and I do not know what mistake.
I am trying to brush it lightly,quickly and lowly,but if I do not miss it or hit the edge of the table,it is spinless
