Serving
A table tennis serve is the final basic skill, and it‟s a crucial skill since the serve is the
only time you have complete control of the ball and the game. There are a number of different
types of serves each with different pros and cons but the basics remain the same.
To serve in table tennis, balance the ball on the palm of your free hand with the hand
open. Throw the ball vertically upward so that it rises at least 6 inches above your hand.
As the ball drops, hit it with your chosen stroke, ensuring that it bounces on your side of
the table, goes over the net, and bounces on your opponent‟s side of the table.
Forehand Drive
The forehand drive is the most basic and fundamental ping pong stroke. It returns
aggressive/attacking strokes and lands your ball close to the opponent‟s baseline or sideline.
With the forehand drive, you rotate your body to the back to add power to the ball, so rotate the
upper body away and transfer your weight onto your back foot, moving your arm straight back.
As soon as the ball hits your side of the table, rotate your body toward it, shifting your
weight forward. Hit the ball at the peak of the bounce, adding speed at impact to impart spin.
After you have struck the ball, continue the motion to rest with your paddle pointing upward.
Backhand Drive
The backhand drive is the mirror of the forehand drive, intended to return attacking shots
and land the ball at the opponent‟s baseline. To deliver a backhand drive, stand with your torso
in the path of the ball (rather than reaching with your arm), and keep your stance angled toward
the table with your free arm pointed toward the ball.
Your waist should bend forward and lift upward as you move your paddle arm forward
and upward, hitting the ball at the top of its bounce and completing the forward and upward
motion.
Backhand Push
The backhand push returns short balls, and prevents your opponent from making an
attacking return. As with the backhand drive, your body should be positioned in line with the
ball, rather than reaching to the side with your arm.
Sweep your arm forward from your chest, letting the paddle swiftly brush underneath the
ball at its peak. Aiming downward toward the table or forward to the net imparts various
amounts of spin, so this is a controlled stroke.
Forehand Push
The forehand push is also designed for returning short balls and preventing attacking
shots. Like the forehand drive, you stand with the dominant foot slightly back, and rotate the
upper body to accentuate the motion of the paddle. However, unlike the forehand drive, you do a
smaller backswing, rotating your wrist forward through the range of motion, and keep your
paddle open to brush beneath the ball.
Singles Play
I. General Rules
The choice of playing position at the table and order of service are determined by the toss
of a coin. If the winner of the toss prefers to have first choice of playing positions, the opponent
then has the choice of whether to serve first or receive first, and vice versa.
The change of service takes place after 5 points have been scored. A point is normally awarded
when the play of a service is concluded. The receiver then becomes the server and the server
becomes receiver, and so on, after each 5 points until the end of the game or the score is 20-all.
Whenever the score becomes 20-all, the receiver becomes the server and the server the receiver,
and so on after each point until the end of the game.
At the start of a new game, the player who served first in the previous game becomes
receiver and the receiver becomes server and so on, alternating after each game.
The players exchange ends after each game, and if play consists of more than one game,
in the deciding game of the match the players change ends when one player reaches a score of 10
points.
A game is won by the player who first scores 21 points with a 2-point margin.
A match consists of the best two (2) of three (3) games.
II. Service
A good service is delivered by projecting the ball from the free hand, which must start
from above the playing surface. The ball must be resting in the palm of the free hand. The ball
is tossed into the air.
As it starts to descend, the ball is struck so that it touches the server‟s court first and then,
passing directly over or around the net, touches the receiver‟s court. At the instant of contact of
the racquet on the ball in service, both handle and ball must be behind the end line of the server‟s
court.
A good return of a served ball must be struck by the receiver on the first bounce so that it
passes directly over or around the net and touches directly on top of the opponent‟s court.
III. Points
A point is awarded to the opponent in the following circumstances:
- Failure to make a good service, unless a let is declared
- Failure to make a good return of a good service or a good return made by the opponent,
unless a let is declared
- If the player, the racquet, or anything that the player wears or carries touches the net or its
supports while the ball is in play.
- If the player, the racquet, or any wearing apparel moves the playing surface while the ball
is in play or touches the net or its supports
- If the player‟s free hand touches the playing surface while the ball is in play
- If, after being struck by the opponent, the ball comes in contact with the player or
anything the player wears or carries before it has passed over the end lines or sidelines,
not yet having touched the playing surface on the player‟s side of the table.
- If at any time the player volleys the ball – that is before the ball hits the table top – except
as provided in Rule A under “Let” (below).
IV. Let
- A let ball, which is then replayed, is called in the following cases:
- If the served ball, in passing over the net, touches it or its supports, if the service would
otherwise have been good or volleyed by the receiver.
- If a service is delivered when the receiver is not ready
- If either player is prevented by an accident not under his/her control from serving a good
service or making a good return
- If either player gives up a point, as provided in Rules C-G under “Points”, owing to an
accident not within his/her control
V. Scoring
A point is scored by the side that makes the last successful return prior to the end of a
rally. An unsuccessful return occurs whenever the ball is missed, is hit off the table, sent into the
net, or hit onto the player‟s own half of the court on the return. Failure to make a good serve
also scores a point for the opponent unless it is a let.
Doubles Play
I. Good Service
The service is delivered (as described in Singles), except that it must touch first the right
half of the server‟s court or the centerline on the server‟s side of the net and then, passing
directly over or around the net, touch the right half of the receiver‟s court or the center line on
the receiver‟s side of the table.
The fourth five services must be delivered by the partner of the receiver (Player 4) of the
first five services and received by the server (Player 1) of the first five services.
The next five services start over as in Rule A of “Order of Service”
