hello

is it legal to drag the ball? ie the contact time of the ball and ur bat is, say 1.5 sec.

another question: when can you loop your opponents return? i always tend to loop every return

thanks very much..Gian

Hi Gian,

Firstly you are not allowed to carry the ball.  It has to be struck cleanly.

It is great if you can loop every return.  Every serve that only bounces once on your side of the table should be looped.  Sounds like you are doing a good job.
