Hi Nathan,

As of the latest viewings, Wang Chuqin's serve appears to be legal according to ITTF rules. Players must ensure that the ball is visible to the opponent throughout the serve, tossed at least 16 cm upwards from an open palm, and struck behind the end line of the table. Wang Chuqin, like many professional players, pushes the limits of these rules to gain slight advantages, but officials at tournaments keep a close eye to ensure compliance. If you’re thinking of emulating his serve, just make sure to focus on keeping your serve actions clear and within the rules to avoid faults during matches.
