Hi Pingskills,

Is it legal to serve at the side of the table? I thought it would be easy to win if you did that.

Hi Stefan,

You have to hit the ball from behind the end line of the table to serve.  You can serve it to anywhere on th table from there in singles.  PLayers can usually cover most areas of the table, so it is about serving with more spin and deception to win points.
