Can i hit the ball before it bounce on the table.
Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago
Hi Johnremi,
This is the trickiest rule of Table Tennis.
As soon as someone hits the ball before it bounces it is the end of the point.
If the ball is over the table and I hit it before it bounces, then I lose the point.
If the ball goes out past the table and then I hit it before it bounces, then it si my point because the ball has already gone out.
I hope this clears up the rule.

If you hit it in volley before the finish line it is point for you, but if you do it before the ball cross that line it is point for your opponent...
