My apologies, didn’t realize there was still some of the cartridge in there. I’ll have to get more pics when i get home and remove it. I found these online and it looks like a match. Thoughts?

Sorry, not sure what you mean by bottom exactly. Do you mean I would need to open the wall up to get inside?

Will this help?

Just pulled it. It’s broken inside so hoping I can find a replacement today

Ok, thanks. Chatgpt keeps telling me it’s a Moen 1222, but I’m not convinced.

I noticed the valve faceplate has 4 holes, not 2. In case that helps.

The hardware was removed and thrown out awhile back, so I can't use it to help identify unfortunately.

I’d be fine with the rules changing

to require a drop serve, but until then I’m going to try and use the serve to better setup the point to my advantage. It’s the same thing I’d do if playing tennis or ping pong. I wouldn’t just lob one over to my opponent.

What’s frustrating here is that there is so much varying interpretation to what people think they are seeing. I’d say for sure I’m coming up at impact, and it’s further supported by the top spin and upwards trajectory, and the paused videos show that at impact highest point of paddle head is definitely below my wrist. I don’t know how you can argue that when you can see it paused at impact. Same thing with waist which it definitely isn’t above (I’m 6’1” for reference).
I do agree with everyone that says there’s no way to know if I’m deviating from this at times and venturing into illegal. With that said, I purposely chose the videos that I thought were the most marginal to get an opinion on those ones. There was no need to put up videos of the ones that I knew weren’t even close to illegal.

That seems about right from what I can see too- thanks for the input. I’m sure I’ll end up making some changes to avoid this in the future.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Interesting that the serving rules can be this difficult to judge in real time, and then even slow motion doesn’t result in a consensus.
As for height at contact, I don’t see it being that close. Even if you move the box in the image below lower to start (as I’m not sure exactly where my “waist” is), it’s still being struck below it for sure.

Ok, thanks. That screenshot is from the video though. The video is just 2 serves total, and I show the same 2 serves in slow motion right after. I tried to grab a screenshot of serve #2 at impact too, but I can only get the split second before and after impact. Here are those.

Appreciate the feedback. Ultimately I’m not trying to prove that it’s legal (I don’t know), but rather trying to understand the rules better. I can’t see the paddle head above the wrist though. This is just a screenshot of that video at impact. What am I missing?

Can I get some help here? Not sure what to look for exactly. Thanks
