How many lets can I serve
Rules
Kathleen Higgins Asked 13 years ago
Hi,
Is there a limit to the lets on serve? Is it like tennis when the second one is a fault?
Thanks Kathleen

Hi Kathleen,
You cannot get faulted for serving a let. There is no limit on the number of lets. This is actually the same in tennis. However with tennis you have to serve two faults in a row before you lose a point. In Table Tennis if you serve a fault you lose the point. I hope this clears things up for you.
We actually cover this in our lesson on the Table Tennis Rules Overview.

We look at the difficulties faced by a left handed receiver facing a right handers serve and also a right handed receiver facing a left handers serve. What rules protect the receiver?

Sorry but I still need some clarity due to the wording. In table tennis, I can hit the net during a serve and have it go over ("let") an unlimited number of times consecutively without losing a point?
Thanks.
Yes that is right Raul.
