Hi George,

Once the ball goes out past the table it is out and the person that hit the ball loses the point.  Even if after that the other player touches the ball with their bat the ball is already out.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
