Coach,

What happens if you drop your paddle during a play?

Hi Andrew,

You can pick it up again but you aren't allowed to hit the ball if you haven't got the paddle in your hand.

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.

Nice pickup Ian. Luckily for me Alois hit the ball with his hand before I put my free hand on the table so I'm going to claim the point!
