Hi Jeff and Alois! I was wondering are you able to lift your feet off the ground when you are playing a match? I heard some people say it’s not allowed anymore and I wanted to get a clear answer.

Thanks!

Hi Shaurya,

You definitely are allowed to lift your feet.  In fact I would recommend it to be able to move more efficiently.

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.

Maybe this was with regard to serving and perhaps "stamping" during the serve?
