Hi,

If i take too much time before serving (e.g 5-10 seconds) that causes opponent distract and lose momentum; is it illegal?

Thanks.

Hi Mohammad,

The rule is that play should be continuous.  So if you are taking too much time then the umpire can ask you to hurry up.  There is no fixed time set out as being legal like in Tennis for example.

If the ball hits any part of the top of the table then the ball is in play. If it only hits the side of the table then it is out.
