How High Must I Throw The Ball When Serving?

Rules

Brad Price Asked 12 years ago

I know that you have to throw the ball up when serving, is there a minimum height requirment that you have to throw the ball up? People are saying that my serves are illegal because i throw them too low.

Hi Brad,

You need to throw the ball up at least 16cm (approximately 6 inches or the height of the net).

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.

If you throw the ball higher, your serve is going to be more spinny...

Thanks Julio for that extra tip and of course thanks Alois for the reply.
