Serving question
Rules
Pieter Holwerda Asked 6 years ago
If I am preparing to serve a backhand serve, and as I bring my right hand across, my right hand hits my left hand and dislodges the ball off my palm, is this a fault?
I have not intentionally projected the ball up, nor have I swung at the ball.
Your wisdom please.
Regards
Pieter

Hi Pieter,
I think it would be a fault as you have started the service action even though the ball has not been projected off the hand.
