[@fidelbaca5616]

Not even close which pulp fiction movie did you watch lol 😂

[@Ligatmarping]

Nice!

[@jtifa]

now what if the ball hits the middle line after a serve, does this count as wrong court or a reserve or still in play?

[@pingskills]

On a serve the line is counted as in so play continues. After the serve the ball can land anywhere on the table.

[@jtifa]

@@pingskills thank you 🙏

[@pingskills]

@@jtifa You are welcome.

[@1760Andy]

What is racquet hits the table while playing...is the point counted?

[@pingskills]

You simply play on if the bat hits the table.

[@vincentnnyc]

i see one of you guys are right hand and the other guy is left hand. i see alot of top doubles player have this strategy...partnering someone who is left hand if the other person is right handed or vice versa.

[@pingskills]

Yes that can be an advantage. Left handers are in a good position to serve and return serves in doubles and that also puts there partner in a great position for the next ball.

[@Crocs-ky]

another reason why the do this is because they will have 2 FH.
