Rules
Deepak H.R Asked 12 years ago
Sir,
I wanted to know if the serve, the one you executed in the Ping Skills trick serve video (at 0:40), was a let,for:
| 2.09.01.05.01 | after touching the receiver's court returns in the direction of the net; |
| 2.09.01.05.02 | comes to rest on the receiver's court; |
thus says the ittf hand book.
Thanking you in anticipation

Hi Deepak,
This rule is only referring to players in a wheelchair. So for standing players it is perfectly OK to do this serve.

So why there is not any player doing it
Hi Yasir,
At the higher level, the ball travels too slowly and a good player will be able to step around and make a strong shot against it.
