Hi Jeff and Alois
When i see Ma Lin serves i don´t see the ball. Can you make a video on how to hide the ball like Ma Lin?

Hi Jasper,
You should be able to see the ball from the other end of the table during the serve otherwise it is illegal. Maybe it is a bad camera angle that doesn't allow you to see the ball.
It isn't worth making a video on hiding the ball because it would be an illegal serve.
