In the 90's at my old job we had a ping pong table in the locker room so during lunchtime we always had doubles matches.
It was 1 hour of pure madness and I loved every single second of so much fun that we had.

Fixed your post:00x13



And yep, a friend of mine had a table, we had hours and hours of fun on that thing. I can imagine having a table at work would make those days at work that much better.

I will bet you all your Madjack T-shirts that your serve was illegal. 90 percent of those that play Table Tennis recreationally have an illegal serve.

I played in sanctioned tournaments "back in the day" I can almost guarantee you your serve was illegal.


Table Tennis is like Golf, nobody actually plays by the official rules.

which rule do u think slick broke?

or what is the most common service rule broken in table tennis?

You must have the ball on an open palm and toss the ball into the air........


"Service shall start with the ball resting freely on the open palm of the server's stationary free hand. The server shall then project the ball near vertically upwards, without imparting spin, so that it rises at least 16cm (approx 6 inches) after leaving the palm of the free hand and then falls without touching anything before being struck".


Watch these serves......

Most rec players do not follow these rules of the serve. But hey it is possible Jack amazing serve was legal, but I doubt it.:shrug:
