If the serve hits the net.....

[Quan]

If the serve hits the net and it makes it in on the other side, does it count as a point or what?

[Eric]

If the serve hits the net and falls into the proper service area then it is a legal serve. It is not a let or fault.

[May]

Only if it's not short.

[Bob]

ugh, if it hits the net, doesn't it basically mean its not gonna make it? i've never seen a serve hit the net, make it to the proper service side, AND be not short.
anyone seen that before?

[Eric]

I've seen that happen before.

[cb]

You haven't played enough.... :-)

[May]

I have done that b4.

[Pebulutangkis]

hey man with net cords almost anything is possible. that kinda serve is quite common. if u have enough control, u can actually hit drives with net cords PURPOSELY and its just as hard as the usual one

[Cheung]

Me too.

[kwun]

i don't get it.

[May]

U don't get what???? Quan asked us whether if the shuttle touches the net on a serve yet reaches the other side, not short, is it a fault or not. Don't think this helps much though.

[May]

Yeah. My coahc tried to teach us how to do this one, and ruined all our carefully practised serves in the process.
