Rules
Hi Jeff and Alois,
I have two questions to ask:
I have hit the ball many times with the edge of my bat (where there's no rubber), the handle of the bat, my finger and the rest of my hand. I think the rules say all that are legal. Am I wrong?
Thank you,
Dimitris from Greece
Hi Dimitris,
The ball is allowed to hit the edge of the bat or even the handle. If it still goes in then it is a good shot.
If the ball hits the net post and then goes in it is also still a good shot. It doesn’t happen very often but it is allowed.
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.
