Rules
Does the opponent have to see your blade at all times during the backswing on the pendulum serve?
Hi Mark,
No they don't. They just have to be able to see the ball throughout the serve.
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
