A legal Serve
General
Dan Unknown Asked 16 years ago
I have been away from the game for about 10 years. I recently started playing again. I was told its illegal to hide the ball, your paddle, or the toss when serving. I watch some of the serving on these clips or in the 2008 Olympics and it looks like they are hiding the ball and their bats.....am I missing something?

Hi Dan,
Yes the opponent needs to be able to see the ball thorughout the serve. You can hide your bat, just not the ball.
