Rules
Dear Alois, I play in my school and outside with a TT player who keeps changing his grip. His serve is fast and it seems that he is not tossing the ball the required height. Because of this, it is hard for me to read the ball although I am adapting. Also, if I complain, he just claims that he has tossed the ball properly. What should I do?
Thanks,
Bala
Hi Bala,
You may want to video his serve and have a look how high he is throwing it up.
You can ask the other players to watch and see if he is throwing it up the required height as well.
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
