Rules
Sir, is it allowed to change the grip, like shakehand to penhold, during play or time out in a match?
Hi Earl,
Yes you can change you grip. There are no rules as to how you should hold the bat.
However I don't advise that you change grip because it will slow you down. The game is too fast for that now.
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.
