This is the 3rd page of my HTML website, where I will be teaching readers how to hit a beginner serve in ping pong. Start by getting a paddle, a place to play, and a ball. Then hold your racket in the classic shakehand grip, like in the image below this text
Now, you want to toss the ping pong ball up 6+ inches, because if you toss it less than 6 inches, it is illegal. Make sure that you do this with a closed palm, otherwise it will be called illegal. 2 other ways for a serve to be called illegal is that you are in front of the table, or if you are beyond the side boundaries of the table. Your forehand or backhand will work for hitting the ball, but I would recommend hitting a forehand serve. Make sure that you are in one of the corners, as that way you can angle your serve better. When it seems like the ball is almost going to hit the table, bring your racket towards the ball at about a 20 degree angle. That way your serve should be fast and go in.
