Fault to throw the ball up and not hit it
Rules
Tim Challener Asked 6 years ago
When serving is it a fault to throw the ball up and not hit the ball on the way down? i.e. choose not to make a stroke

Hi Tim,
That is a fault and the other player's point. As soon as you throw the ball up it is definitely in play and you need to make a good serve.

Doubles Serving Rules
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. 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.
