Hi Coach

Firstly, you're the one who makes my strokes improve. You're my only coach, so great thanks

My question is in this video https://youtu.be/onEkHHWzxW0?t=2m35s (2 mins 21 secs)

After some great topspin shots and the player is too far from the table, Ma Long has played the ball too short

Is it allowed ? 

Is it Ma Long point or the another player? 

Thanks :)

Hi Elsayed,

That shot is allowed.  It is a good tactic.

We have a lesson on this stroke called the Drop Shot off a Lob.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
