Coach, Once the ball is thrown up in the air for a serve can you switch hands before the ball is struck; I want to do it as a matter of deception. Thanks for your help, Steve

Hi Steve,

No you have to throw it up with your free hand.  This is allowed if you have a disability but you need special exemption to do it.

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.
