gaining a lead of 2 points)..
• Serving – after each 2 points the receiving player becomes the serving player.
• A good service starts with the ball resting on the palm of the servers hand, the ball
is thrown upwards, and on its way down the server strikes the ball so that it
touches first his side of the table (court) and then his opponents side of the table
(court).
• A good return – the ball, having been served, should be struck so that it passes
over the net (or around it) and touches the opposite side of the table (court).
• A let – if in service the ball, in passing over the net, touches it and is otherwise
good (i.e. goes over the net and hits the receivers side) it is a let and the service is
taken again.
