Hitting with handle
Rules
Siddhant Laddha Asked 8 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff,
While playing a match with my friend, I accidentally hit the ball with the handle of the Racquet. So I wanted to know whether it is allowed to do that.Also in the same match My friend hit the table with the handle. So whose point is it?
You are the BEST Table Tennis coaches in the World,
Love and Regards,

Hi Siddhant,
Thanks for your kind words.
The ball is allowed to hit the handle.
The handle is allowed to touch the table as well.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
