When you serve if you didn't hit the ball with your bat, what happens.

Hi Ivan,

As soon as the ball goes off your hand it is in play so if you miss the ball you lose the point.

Doubles Serving Rules

In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.

Hi Alois, even if the balls doesnt touch the table or your racket?, I mean, if it just goes to the floor? Thanks.
