Hi,when playing doubles and i'm serving down the middle of the table,is it a foul when any part of the ball crosses the centre line or does the whole of the ball need to be over the line before i loose the point.Who does the centre line belong to.

Hi Barry,

As long as some part of the ball touches the line it is a good serve.

 This is often difficult to tell since the ball is so small and the line so thin.

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.
