Am I allowed to hide the ball during the serve with my racket? I know you can't cover it with your hand/body but I just wonder if racket counts as part of you, or not (also I know that your clothes can't cover the ball)

Hi Annatar,

You aren't allowed to hide it with anything, even your bat.  The ball needs to be visible to the opponent at all times.

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.
