Serving position on the table

Serving

Hello,

We have always seen players serving from one corner of the table. Right handed players serving from the back hand or left hand side of the table. What is the reason for this?

Appreciate your response.

regards

Hi Rahul,

Most players serve from their backhand corner because the momentum of their service action then moves them into a good central position. As they hit the ball they move into position for the rest of the rally.

Take a look at the tutorial on Ready Position After Pendulum Serve.
