Hi Abhinav,
This is talking about actually moving the surface of the table. You are allowed to touch the table with anything except your free hand.
Do you ever get annoyed by how long your opponents take between points? How long are you allowed to take between points? These are the question that we will discuss and answer in this video.

Hi Abhinav,
The racket often touches the table and doesn’t move the surface. This is OK. As for wilful damage that is another matter. I am sure the umpire will be able to tell the difference between the two.
