Hi Alois

Thanks a lot for your videos :)

My question is

Do every return should be cross the net before hitting the opponents board.

Thanks

Manoj

Hi Manoj,

When you serve you hit the ball down onto your own side first.  For every other shot you need to hit the ball over the net and then it touches your opponents side of the table.

I hope this clears it up for you.

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.

Hi Alios;

I have seen in a  match organised by Pingskills ,  the backhand return was pass from the side of net to the other player court, and the shot was well appreciated. pls comment.

Hi Dilip,

The ball doesn't have to go over the net as such but can go around it.  It was bad wording by me above.
