Banging the table

Ishaan Sachdeva Asked 13 years ago

Hi coach my question to you is what happens if during the serve or rally the player hits the table tennis racquet with the table accidentally? does the player loses the point or do they keep on playing? Please if you could answer this question for me as it happens very often with me.

Hi Ishaan,

You don't lose a point if your bat touches the table so it is play on... The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand.

Hitting the Ball on the Full

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.

The other important rule to remember is that you cannot move the table or you lose the point. So if you somehow hit the table and actually move it, then the point is awarded to your opponent.

Another bad thing is: it'll damage the table and the bat if you hit it too hard.
