PingSkills,

Can you lose on a bad serve?

Thanks for your help,

Hi Andrew,

If you make a mistake with a serve you lose the point straight away. You don't get a second chance.

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.

Alois,

Can you please clarify for me what a bad serve is. For example, if I throw the ball up but then decide not to hit the ball, have I then lost the point? Or, if I throw the ball up and miss the ball completely with the bat, have I lost that point?

thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam,

Yes if you throw the ball up it is in play so if you miss it or catch it again you lose the point.
