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.

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.
