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.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
