Serving line for doubles
Discussion
Jasper Low Asked 2 years ago
Hi alois, usually when I play doubles, I try to serve closer to the white line. However there are times when someone's serve lands ridiculously close to the white line and the opponent claims that it landed on the wrong side of the table. How do you resolve this argument?

Hi Jasper,
This can be difficult to resolve especially when there is no umpire. I find that players often feel that the ball is on the wring side even when it is close to the line because players aren't used to the ball landing there.
Try to watch the ball carefully and find someone that can act as the umpire so they can watch the ball independently.
