Legal serve
Rules
Vijay Madge Asked 13 years ago
Dear Alois could you please tell me whether a serve is legal if the sever's hand/s is or comes over the table while serving. This I have often seen happening especially in high toss/pendulum services.

Hi Vijay,
The ball is not allowed to go over the end line during the service until it is hit. So it is more about the ball rather than the hand.
Hope this makes sense.
