Rules
What happens when the person serving hits the table with his bat making a loud noise. I find this happens quite a bit and it is off putting.
Hi Paul,
There is no rule against this unless he moves the table, which is unlikely. Therefore it is just play on. It can be distracting but you have to be able to focus on the ball and play the return.
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
