Has the table tennis net ever been higher than 6 inches?

Hi Dale,

Not to my knowledge.  It has always been 6inches.  They have talked for a long tie about raising the height of the net but I don't think that will happen.

Serving Back into the Net

Whose point is it if I serve the ball with backspin so it bounces back into the net? We explain the rule in this video.

If the net height increases, the serve toss has to increase as well,right?

ITTF would lose money on this I guess :DD
Because exchanging balls is easy,because they crack,they get accidentally stomped on,they easily get lost etc.
But nets?
In my club,there were 2 nets for more than 20years and they do not seem to be damaged too much.
