Hitting your fingers

Rules

When you play a stroke and the ball hits not only your bat but your fingers and still goes in does it count as a valid return or do you lose the point?

Hi Lance,

Up to your wrist is considered to be part of your bat.  So even if the ball hits both your finger and the bat it is still in.
