Ghost Serve
Serving
Henry Smith Asked 11 years ago
Hey guys,
This is a hard question to ask but, if you were to do the ghost serve and it hits the opponents side then yours twice is that counted as their point or do they need to hit it?
Also do you have any easy solutions on how to do the ghost serve?
Thanks.

Hi Henry,
If the receiver doesn’t touch the ball it is the server’s point.
