Rules

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.

Side of Table

If the ball hits any part of the top of the table then the ball is in play. If it only hits the side of the table then it is out.
