Serving short in Doubles

Strategy

Chris Thong Asked 12 years ago

Can you serve long in doubles?(I see a lot doubles matches and they serve short every time)

Hi Chris,

You are allowed to serve long but it is not advisable. The opponent only has half the table to cover so it will be easy to attack if you serve long.

That is why they serve short most of the time.
