Hi Alois,

When I am playing doubles with my friend, i ball touched my friend's shoulder and rose up next i smashed it. Is it legal?

Hi Merric,

That sounds like quite a party trick. Unfortunately it's not legal. If the ball hits your partners body, or your body, the point is over.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
