Receiver moving before serve

Rules

Anthony Capasso Asked 11 years ago

Hi guys,

When receiving serve, my opponent says that I can not move to step around or anything until the ball has left the racket. Is this true? Thanks.

Hi Anthony,

No this isn’t true. There is no rule about this. In fact you will notice that a lot of the top players have moved a great deal before the server has actually hit the ball.

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.
