Stamping on Serve

Josha Matthewman Asked 12 years ago

Hi guys,

I know this have come up before on the site - whether or not it is legal to stamp during the service action.

I was wondering if it is still legal and do you have a copy of the official law regarding this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jasha,

There is no specific rule now but if it is seen as deliberately distracting your opponent then the umpire may call you. However, you never really see it called by the umpires now.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
