Ball Rolling on the table
Rules
Kronos Chow Asked 14 years ago
Hi coach,
Recently I have watched a shot on youtube:

The ball rolls on the table after the player in blue returned it. Does rolling in table tennis considered a double (or more) bounce?

Hi Kronos,
Interesting question.
In this case the ball does bounce a little so it would be impossible to return. I have seen balls that skid over the table fast and are returned by the other player.
I think in its purest form a roll would have to be considered one bounce.

In this video we explain what happens when someone hits the ball before it bounces in a rally. This is also known as hitting the ball on the full. The point stop immediately when this happens but who's point is it? This depends on where the ball was hit. Watch the video to find out more.
