Can you tell me does the rule about hitting the ball on the full (before bouncing) also apply to the sides of the table as well as the end line?

Hi Peter,

Yes it does as long as the ball has already passed over the table.  For example, if the ball has been hit by your opponent from a wide ball outside the line of the table and you are down the side of your end you can't hit it before it has a chance to hit the table.

I hope this clears it up for you.
