If I or my bat touches the table while playing a shot is it a foul? and Can I cross the table while playing a shot?

Hi Santosh,

You don't lose a point if you touch the table. You only lose the point if you move the table or if your free hand touches the table.

You can move anywhere as long as you don't interfere with the other person. You can even go to the other end of the court. You aren't allowed to touch the net though.
