Changing hands
Rules
Oliver Asked 13 years ago
I saw Timo Boll vs Chen Qi and Timo Boll changed hands. According to ITTF rules (or how I comprehend it), the free hand is set before a match. Is this legal?

Hi Oliver,
You are allowed to change hands during a rally. The free hand isn't necessarily set before the game.
It is done a little bit at the top level but not very often at all.

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.
