Backspin

Rules

If you were to put so much backspin on the ball that it hit on your opponents side then without them touching the ball it bounced back to your side what would it be? Is it your point because they never touched it or do you just play on?

Hi Will,

This is an easy one.  It is your point.  Your opponent has to hit it before it comes back for it to be play on.

As an interesting point your opponent can hit th eball even after it has passed back over the net onto your side as long as it hasn't touched your side yet.

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.
