Is Ma Lin serve legal
Serving
ismael metioui Asked 10 years ago
I wanted to ask,when you serve in a competitions are you allowed to do the Ma lin serve? They told me that when you serve it needs to bounce on your side then the next bounce is at the other side of the table and then it can't bounce again in the enemies table,is this true?

Hi Ismael,
This is not correct. You are allowed to serve it so that if the receiver doesn’t touch the ball it would bounce on their side as many times as you want.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.
