Tall enough to bounce on your side of the table, clear the net and then bounce of the opponent's side of the table.
You get a point either: 1. When you bounce the ball twice on your opponents side without them hitting it 2. Bouncing it once on their side and then they can't hit it before it hits the ground 3. They hit the ball and it doesn't land on your side
An "ace" happens on a serve where you hit the birdie to the opponents side and they miss. This is an "ace".
Only 1 bounce. If it bounces twice on your side, you've lost that point.
if it doesn't bounce when someone hits it, and then you hit. then they get the point. when it bounces and goes off the side, then they get the point. :)
To win a point at table tennis you need to make the ball bounce on your opponents side of the table, without it having bounced on your side first. If your opponent cannot return the shot in the same manner, you win the point.
by kicking the ball side to side
similar, but not the same, no. for example, when serving in table tennis, the ball must hit YOUR side of the table, bounce over the net and then hit your opponents side. in regular tennis, it just needs to hit your opponent's side. the rules that are the same include: the ball must not bounce more than once on your side of the net, or you lose that point you may not hit the ball more than once when it is on you side of the net (meaning, if you hit it into the air straight up, you may not then hit it again to try to get it over the net) serving is done behind the back line, and must be done from one quadrant of the court (or table) and needs to bounce on the quadrant kitty-corner from the serving quadrant.
there are no foul lines for singles in table tennis, but for doubles you are only allowed to serve from the right half of your side of the table to the opponents right half (cross court/table).
No. The serve should be returned by three different plays - that would be a dig (usually from the back row), then a set (by the setter), then the hit. A serve cannot be blocked. Once the serve is returned then the blocking may begin.
It is all in the motion of the serve, instead of hitting the ball straight forward, slice the ball with the paddle in order to keep the ball along the entire surface area of the paddle in a more or less downward motion and that will induce spin.
In racquetball, the player who begins with the serve must first bounce the ball off the floor before hitting the front wall. The ball may not touch the back wall and can only touch one of the side walls before the other player returns the serve. If the ball does bounce in these restricted areas, it is considered to be a fault. The players continue to return passes to each other by first hitting the ball to the front wall before allowing the ball to hit the floor. Unlike in the initial serve, the ball may hit any of the walls once the serve is successfully in play.
