Is it fault when the ball hit the handle of racket? it happens most of the time when i hold my racket with a pen hold grip.

Hi Maaz,

The handle is part of your racket so it is still in.

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.

Thank you coach. i have another question, if the ball hits your hand and sucessfuly reaches the other court, is it a fault or not?

This is also a good shot.  Up to your wrist is considered to be part of your bat.
