Are we allowed to touch the table with the racquet
Rules
Nimit Mistry Asked 7 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.
