Hi Martin,

If the ball only touches your finger and not your bat then it is a good hit.  You will find though that in most cases the ball will hit both your finger and your bat which is considered a double hit and so it is a foul.

If you have nay other general rules enquiry also take a look at our PDF Table Tennis Rules Brochure or the lesson on the Rules of Table Tennis
