Serving position on the table

Rahul Mandrekar Asked 7 years ago
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
Rahul

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.
