Bat usage
Rules
Bruce Baulch Asked 14 years ago
Hello Alois
I have just watched the Utube of you and Jeff and a question I have had put to me which I have had varying answers. My question. Is it legal to have both hands on the bat at the same time when returning a ball, as you see all the time in Tennis. Bruce Baulch

Hi Bruce,
As far as I know you are allowed to use both hands. The only time you have to have a free hand is when you are serving so that you can throw the ball up.
You can swap hands as well if you so desire.
I will put this one to our panel of experts and see what I get.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
