Hi Mahmoud,

We have a video response on the Ovtcharov serve.  It is basically a backhand serve with an exaggerated start position to allow him to get a bigger swing at the ball and then into his ready position quicker. You can also take a look at our lessons the the Serving Secrets course on the Backhand Serve to understand the principles of the serve.

Elsayed LAshin mainly uses the Punch serve.  Hre is a video response to an Ask the Coach question on now to do it.  Par Gerell does this serve as well.  What type of serve is Par Gerell doing?

Your bat is allowed to touch the opponent's side of the table as long as you don't interfere with them.
