Rules
when I have the ball in the palm of my hand, my hand and the ball must be between the two sidelines?
if they have to be between the sidelines when the ball is thrown up, the ball can leave the sidelines?
thanks
Hi Alex,
You don't need to have your hand between the sidelines. It just needs to be behind the end line or the imaginary extension of that.
The toss has to be nearly vertical.

Hi Alex,
I am not sure what you mean by effect.
After you hit the ball it can leave by the sidelines, it doesn't have to go out of the end line.

i mean by effect, when for example, wang hao, when throw up the ball, the ball, draw a curve, then what is effect?
My question is, When I have the ball in my palm of my hand, the hand that I can not take away from the sidelines,
But the ball?
and another thing, when in the service, I'm throwing the ball up in this shot, the ball can leave the sidelines?
I mean the elevation, not to hit.
Thanks. i don, t understand very much, i, m spanish and my english is terrible ...

Hi Alex,
No problems we will get it right.
You can take the ball away from the sidelines as long as it is still behind the line of the table.
You shouldn't be able to curve the ball with the throw. It should go straight up and down.

ok. So I can have the hand and the ball out of the sidelines and when I throw the ball up can leave even one meter from the sidelines, but always end line behind me, and the elevation, the ball has to draw a straight line. Right?
But I still do not understand how it is legal to kick wang hao, his serve is a curve ...
thank you very much

Hi Alex,
It is allowed to curve a little because f the natural throw but if it starts to curve too much they will call him for it.

ok. I already understand the effect. But what I said in the other review, is right?

The ball does have to go in a straight line when it is thrown up.

Yes that sounds right, just the end line has to be in front of the ball.
