Are you allowed to change your grip from shakehand to penhold during a match?

Hi Abdiel,

Yes you can.  There are no regulations as to how you are allowed to hold your bat.  You can even hold it upside down if you want to.

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.
