Height of net

Rules

Shripathi ramakrishnan Asked 14 years ago

hi alois and jeff,

in a table, just how high should the net be? i see people who adjust it to as high as their tip of their blades. is this right?

Alois Rosario Answered 14 years ago

Hi Shripathi,

The height of the net is 6 inches or 15.25cm. This is roughly the width of a Table Tennis blade but there are variation sin the size of the rackets so this is not a definitive measurement.

Hi Shripathi,
I will depend on the set up of the net. See if you can adjust it manually.
