Limit for bouncing ball on bat before serving

Charlotte Taylor Asked 11 years ago

I sometimes play against a player who bounces the ball on his bat between 15 and 28 (the most I've counted) times before serving. It's irritating when you're standing there ready to receive, but it also makes the matches last a long time! Is there a limit to the number of times you can bounce the ball in this way? I have seen in another reply that there's no actual limit between points as long as play is pretty much continuous.

Thank you!
