Hi Jimmy,
It no longer says that you have to be behind the end line. The ball does need to be behind the end line from the start of the serve till you hit it. So you can go around the side of the table to serve the ball as long as you keep the ball behind the end line.
Of course you don't want to get too far around the side because it will make it more difficult to get ready for the next ball.
