Free hand on racket
Rules
Mike Sotak Asked 6 years ago
Are you allowed to touch the racket with your free hand during a rally? My son uses his free hand to get extra spin on the ball when hitting it.

Hi Mike,
You are allowed to use your free hand on the racket. I think it will make it more difficult ultimately to generate spin and it will also slow him down.
If you want to beat him, let him keep doing it...

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.

It is bad idea to use the free hand like this.
It only throws him off-balance. This is not tennis.
As Alois says,the free hand only brakes the playing one.
Free hand's role is in balancing the body,am I right,Alois?
Yep.
