Hi David,

In table tennis, the service rules have been designed to ensure fairness and transparency. According to the current rules set by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), you must show a clear hand with the ball visible before you serve. This means you need to start with the ball resting freely on the open palm of your stationary free hand.

Make sure to keep practising your serves with the rules in mind to ensure that they are legal and effective in a match situation.
