Rules
Hi!
Can I hit the ball before it hits the board on my side, I mean like a Volley shot in lawn tennis?
Hi Mohan,
This is not allowed. If the ball is over the table and you hit it before it bounces, you lose the point straight away.
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
