Rules
Hi coach,
If my ball touches side of a table of opponent it is my point or his?
Thanks,
Kedar
Hi Kedar,
Thanks for your question. In table tennis, if the ball hits the side of the table (as opposed to the top surface), it is considered out. The point would go to your opponent in this case. Remember, only the top surface of the table is valid for a legal return during a rally. If the ball touches the side, it's the same as hitting it off the table or into the net. Keep practising and all the best in your games.

Most people that I play with will call it if their shot hits the side of the table but I'm not so sure that people will be honest in a tournament.
