Are we allowed to touch the table with the racquet
Rules
Nimit Mistry Asked 8 years ago
I have seen in some matches , that the players touch the table with the racquet, but the rally continues, but some of my friends , who go to classes for table tennis, are told by their coach that the racquet can't touch the table.
I am confused, so exactly what is the rule?

Hi Nimit,
The racket is definitely allowed to touch the table. The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand.

Doubles Serving Rules
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
