Rules
morris kaplan Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois,
i am incredulous! Anytime the ball hits both the paddle and the hand it is a double hit!
is it not? it does not matter which is hit first.
if you are right, i have been playing by the wrong rules.
we are talking ittf right?
thanx

Hi Morris,
The rules were changed recently. Now if the ball hits both your hand and the bat and it is not intentional it is play on. These are the ITTF rules now.
Take a look at our video response to the question Hand or Finger Foul.

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.
