Serving from underneath the table
Rules
Raresh Paunescu Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois,
I have a problem with a friend. When he serves, he tosses the ball from under the table. His bat is also under the table and I can't see anything! Is he allowed to do that??

Hi Raresh,,
The ball has to be above the level of the table when he is serving.
This is part of the Service Rule. Hope it helps.
| 2.06.04 | From the start of service until it is struck, the ball shall be above the level of the playing surface and behind the server's end line, and it shall not be hidden from the receiver by the server or his or her doubles partner or by anything they wear or carry. |
