Serving question

Rules

Pieter Holwerda Asked 7 years ago

If I am preparing to serve a backhand serve, and as I bring my right hand across, my right hand hits my left hand and dislodges the ball off my palm, is this a fault?

I have not intentionally projected the ball up, nor have I swung at the ball.

Your wisdom please.

Regards

Pieter

Hi Pieter,

I think it would be a fault as you have started the service action even though the ball has not been projected off the hand.

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.
