I can pretty much do this serve anytime I want. And yes, if your opponent is expecting it, this serve is useless. However, I haven't met a player who can rip it back if he wasn't expecting it.

I know it didn't touch the paddle.

That's what some of my club members claimed but I couldn't find it and that's why I started this thread.

BTW, when I got sweat on my hand, it generates some kind of funny spin too.

That depend on the playing style of my opponent. Like I mention before, some lefties stay on the far right side of their table and they are most vulnerable to this serve. Beside, I also have a very spinny (top or under) backhand serve which prepare them for the next surprise.

www[DOT]youtube[DOT]com/watch?v=lvv_HKJs7q4 Here is a little video I made, it's difficult to see the hand impact even in slow motion. I can usually get the ball to bounce twice on the opponent's side. Please don't comment on my throws, I know I don't always throw the ball high enough. :P...

I'll see what I can do

I don't use it often but I can usually get 1 to 2 points per game with this serve. The surprise effect usually cause the opponent to pop the ball up for me to kill.

I have a tricky backhand serve that the ball impact the back of my hand to create a weird drop shoot. The lefties hated it since they usually stand way on the right side of table and my serve would put the ball on their far left close to the net. Many of them told me it is illegal to serve...

I would like to know if there is any rule regarding the ball hitting the back of my hand during service instead of my paddle.
