Different hands for playing and serving

Rules

Shaant Mittal Asked 13 years ago

hey coach !

I am a ambi dexter so I am not able to do good spinning service with my right hand but I am not able to play nicely with my left hand. Can I do the service with my left hand and play the game with my right hand.

THANKS !

Hi Shaant,

That is allowed in the rules. It is an interesting problem to have. I would probably try to develop my serving with my right hand if I were you. Unless you are really slick at changing hands.

Doubles Serving Rules

In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
