Changing hands during play

Rules

Bart Snell Asked 14 years ago

Hi,

I was wondering if it is permissable to change hands during play? In other words, can I switch back and forth from holding my paddle in my right and left hands during a game?

Thanks!

Hi Bart,

Yes you are allowed to switch hands at any time. You do sometimes see this happen at the top level.

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.

Timo Boll is the only person I know who can do it on the international level.
