Hi Ali,

Your bat is allowed to touch the table.  The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand.

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.

The rule is exactly that, you are allowed to touch the table with your bat.
