  • ok... so as far as I know any part of your body or racquet cannot break the plane of the e-line before the ball has bounced or has broken the plane itself

  • You are correct regarding the 5 ft line. However, I have a serve that goes JUSTover the 2nd solid line and pinches off the wall and the floor.. According to the rule, the opponent cannot hit the ball at all within the 5 ft space. This is an ace serve. I can hit this serve all day and score points. This is unfair to the opponent. Please clarify.

  • John-

    I know the rule states that you cannot make contact with the ball until it breaks the plane, even if your feet are behind the line.

    I still see the pros hit the ball before it breaks the plane of the encroachment line while their feet are still legal and not get called.

    I am confused.

    I recently got called for this with my feet behind the line but breaking the plane on contact of the ball.

  • this is a really good video. thanks for posting it...
