What a great video! Thanks for sharing

For most of us, I imagine we have been in situations where we feel the other person is serving illegally.
A lot of the issue I see is that people aren't confident enough to actually call them on the illegal serves.
Perhaps they don't know the rule well enough (can't blame them for that!) or they just don't want to make a scene.
The most obvious illegal services I see in the UK are...
• Partially covering the ball - Either with the body or a lazy hand not getting out of the way.
• Ball being thrown "backwards" and not straight up - Just like Anders showed in the video.
• Not being thrown 16cm up....
Basically... All of the obvious rule breaches! 😂
Any rule change should be one that filters down to the entry level players and can be easily enforced without needing 4 umpires all around the table!
I like the idea of backhand only serves - It would make it less "illegal", that's for sure!
