Serving from outside the edge lines on the table
Rules
David Miller Asked 11 years ago
I know the rules say that serves must be from behind the baseline (para 2.6.4), and the baseline should be considered as extending out beyond the edges of the table. However on another web site video it is said that you must serve from within the edge lines (also extending out beyond the table) as well, but I don't see this in the rules anywhere.
Can you clarify please.

Hi David,
You are definitely allowed to serve from outside the line of the table, as long as it is behind the end line of the table or the extension of the end line.
