Serve with the ball hitting your hand

Rules

Is it legal to deliberately serve with the ball hitting the hand. This provides a good deception because the hand is softer than a bat. But is it legal?

Hi Tim,

Yes it is legal but it will not really be effective.  It comes out too slowly and gives your opponent too much time.

Maybe with a huge movement and the ball still going pretty short and completely spinless (for obvious reasons)

Happy New Year to you Jean... Maybe we can experiment with the rubber... They would be very handy shots to be able to play...
