Hiding The Contact
Rules
Aasim Showkat Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois,
I know that while doing service we can't hide the contact of ball and bat but after doing serve can we hide the contact below the table or behind our body, to distract the opponent.

Hi Aasim,
During a rally there is no restriction on this. You are allowed to let the ball drop below the table and make a shot from there. However I wouldn't recommend this. You'll put yourself into a far worse position by trying something tricky. You are better off during the rally getting into a good position and executing a decent stroke.

Moving the Table
What happens if you move the table in the rally or when the rally is finished? We answer that for you in this video.

If hiding a serve is forbidden,how can I make sure that it will be difficult for my opponent to recognize what spin is on the ball?
By disguising the action of the service swing and the contact. We have a section on this in our Serving Secrets lessons for Premium members.
