Bounce the Ball When Serve a minimum of Sixteen Centimeters


By: Kasmono Monex, a fan of healthy living



Please note, serve is the first shot to start a game of table tennis.

A good serve will also affect a good shot. The serve technique is not only ceremonial used to start the game.

Not a few table tennis athletes who use the serve as part of a deadly attack. This move was made with the hope that the opponent could not return the blow.

If the opponent can reply, we can easily return the ball back to the opponent's defense. The next step can be done by smashing so that the points are successfully obtained.

Serve is also part of the playing strategy. Serve is the beginning we play to determine the decision of the next shot.

Serve is sometimes not noticed by some players. From quality to regulations regarding serves, they don't get enough portion in practice.

Some players still ignore it, tend to serve "Spanish" (half-help) for the ambition of getting points in the game.

An example that we often see is the lack of bouncing the ball when serving for the sake of "quality serve" killing the opponent.

16cm is the minimum height for the ball to bounce according to ITTF rules, and PTMSI certainly adopts these rules. It is still understandable for hobbyists if they still make mistakes, but it is highly recommended for every player to get used to following the existing rules. Usually if our serve is protested by the opponent and reminded by the referee, it will affect the psychology and the next game. Remember...sixteen centimeters...hehehe


Healthy spirit and greetings 🏓
