How do you properly execute a serve according to the rules of ping pong?

Answer 1

To properly execute a serve in ping pong, start with the ball resting freely in your palm. Toss the ball at least 6 inches up and hit it with an open palm or fingers. The ball must bounce on your side first, then over the net to the opponent's side. The serve must be hit from behind the end line and above the table surface.
