hey coach ! 

I am a ambi dexter so I am not able to do good spinning service with my right hand but I am not able to play nicely with my left hand. Can I do the service with my left hand and play the game with my right hand. 

THANKS !

Hi Shaant,

That is allowed in the rules.  It is an interesting problem to have.  I would probably try to develop my serving with my right hand if I were you.  Unless you are really slick at changing hands.

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.
