Here is the official ruling from the rule book in regards to crotch shots on a serve return: This goes for both regular rallies as well as on the serve return. If the ball contacts the floor and the front wall simultaneously (otherwise known as a crotch shot), the ball is considered out of play and the point or serve will go the player who did not hit the ball.

Let the racquet dry for five minutes, find any missed spots, re-secure the racquet and do another coat over where necessary. Hold the can roughly 18 inches away from the racquet and try to spray evenly completely covering the entire racquet. This is going to help the paint stick better.įinally, secure your racquet and grab the Tamiya Color Plastic paint. The final step prior to painting is to go over the entire racquet with the 600 grit sandpaper and a bit of water. Repeat on both sides until it slides right off making sure you are careful not to ruin it so you can put the grip back on later. Next, use your screw driver to pry your grip open a little bit and spray some WD40 inside.
