Serving from palm or closed fingers
Rules
Tamas Goltl Asked 12 years ago
Hi coach again, how are you today,
When I serve I hold the ball before and while I throw it up to the air not on my opened palm but a little bit forward: on my closed five fingers (but it is like a straight, horizontical surface you know, just like my opened palm). Is that okay to serve like that or not? Thanx for your helping!

Hi Tamas,
The ball has to be on the palm of your hand. If the ball is on your fingers it is technically a fault.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
