"Now, there's also a thing called a net serve. In tennis they call it a let serve. And basically what it is you're hitting your serve, ball's hitting your side of the table. As the ball goes over the net, if the ball ticks the top of the net if it falls on your side, it's your opponent's point, the serve, that one serve is over. Ok, say it goes over the net and lands on your opponent's side, it's called a net serve. Now a net serve basically means you're just starting over. You're it's like it's a free serve. So, if you hit a net serve, and it ticks the net and goes over the to your opponent's side, your opponent will say net serve and you're basically getting another serve. And you can hit fifty million net serves in a row, there's no limit. Obviously, it's going to be hard to hit the top of the net a lot of times in a row, but it's possible. I've done it many times. So, it's still just a takeover, takeover, takeover until you get one over the net and into play. Obviously, like I said if it hits the net and drops on your side of the table, it's your opponent's point and that's the end of the point and you re-serve."
