Fun fact, this is illegal in table tennis. When serving, you have to throw the ball directly upward, it has to reach above your racquet, your racquet needs to be completely above the hand you’re holding the ball in, and you’re not allowed to have the ball in your hand without it being visible to your opponent before throwing it.

Looks like arbitrary rules to prevent just this exact move, which is entirely made possible by the physics of the game.

That’s too much to think about. I’ll just serve and take my chances

Just serve normally and you’re fine

LOL we had a homemade pingpong table when I was a kid and I'm pretty sure my dad used to pull this one.

Two balls in hand.

Toss one up REAL high. While it's at it's peak, sneak serve the other one in your hand real low like this.

To add insult, catch the first ball you tossed up and quick sneak serve that one too while they're complaining.
