we have cameras that measure the ball spins +7000 rpm but we cant detect an illegal serve??

[pantheonellis]

3:13 Leng Dapeng’s illegal serve received nearly 2 million views on Bilibili. Since then many Chinese people mocked a person's illegal serve like "You serve like Leng Dapeng."😂

Umpires need to enforce the rules. Players need to call it out as well. At this point players don't call it out because it's easier to join the illegal serves rather than leave it up to the ump.

"2.6.5 As soon as the ball has been projected, the server’s free arm and hand shall
be removed from the space between the ball and the net.
The space between the ball and the net is defined by the ball, the net and
its indefinite upward extension." - I think that I've never seen forehand pro service, that satisfies this rule completely .

[emiliosaure]

If you make a rule that no one controls, no one will respect it.

[evangelizarEC]

I wonder if they could have cameras that track the ball being tossed and at what angle it's descending... if greater than a certain threshold, a red light should appear. Thoughts?

[jinhocha]

This would be the serious problem on TT
and we have to fix this problem soon.

[vuphong]

4 years and Table Tennis Review (TTR) has not been used widely? What's the problem with that?

[tjiiiez]

Of course they throw the ball backwards, but are they supposed to cut their head off? Also as long as the other player doesn’t complain, its ok

[Arief-PCR-A]

From this video we see that Wang Chuqin always hide his serve by his body 😮😮😮

[augustinemaji]

It’s easier to serve illegally with the Jab/hook serve.

[马千澄]

Most table tennis fans in China despise Wang Chuqin's serve, they prefer people who play cleanly.

[nils-and-kat-devine]

I wonder if the rules could be written to focus on the true offense: concealing the point of contact with the ball? When players use good body mechanics, turning and leaning down into the serve, the ball may pass behind their head, but if the opponent can see, say the last 18cm of drop and the contact, the rest shouldn’t matter. Of course it would be good if a rule change also came with enforcement of the rules.

[greis]

How do you tell a illegal serve from behind ?

[jorgevictorm.salesvicandmo]

In the revision it is already 18 cm not 16 cm from palm to ball

[beleaff]

When everybody use it is quite fair then

[Woestheboss]

New rule: only backhand serves allowed.

[Basas.Michael]

Referee was on point and did his service well. Explained his stance and kept his souverainity.
Do not hit the Boll!

[govindara]

You are completely right but no solution ! some umpires has given point for bad services but was not the worst one..
The conclusion is that rule's services are not adapted to tennis table . Professional players work a lot to hide services.
International federation know all the problem but they stay straight like a banana !!!

[guillermomorales]

I dont see ilegal service here🤔 shang kun cant handle the very strong service 😳but for many People the wang chuqin service its ilegal 🏓
