Legality to serve outside the longitudinal line (side line imaginary prolongation).Some argue it is illegal...Thanks for your dedication to the sport.

Hi Roberto,

You are allowed to serve past these imaginary lines.  You can go as far away as you like as log as you don't move too far forward so that you are in front of the imaginary latitudinal line in line with the base line of the table.
