Rule regarding a "carry"during a stroke
Rules
Phillip Simmons Asked 8 years ago
Hello coaches, Phillip again with another question. I can't find any rule that covers a "carry" during a return or stroke. The "carry" I am asking about is similiar to the "carry" in tennis where the ball is carried on the racket for a moment rather than a rebound off the racket. I saw one today for the first time. So is it legal?
I really appreciate your research on questions and quick response time.

Hi Phillip,
I think in the past it would have been a problem and a point against you but now with the new rule of being able to hit the ball more than once as long as it is not intentional I think you would get away with it.
The new rule adds the word deliberately:
| 2.10.01 | Unless the rally is a let, a player shall score a point |
| 2.10.01.07 | If an opponent deliberately strikes the ball twice in succession; |

Yes as long as it is not deliberate.
