Hard Bat or Sponge Bat

Rules

STAN HARDING Asked 11 years ago

I play in a local league. I used to play hard bat and was able to beat some better opponents using it since they are not used to the reaction of hard bat.

Since I have move to sponge bat my better opponents are beating me.

My question is can I change my bat to my old hard bat during the games with a better player and change back to my sponge bat for the rest of the match?

Hi Stan,

If it is a match against a different opponent, then you are allowed to use a different bat.  You aren’t allowed to change bats in the middle of a match with one opponent unless you break your bat accidentally.

Doubles Serving Rules

In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
