Hi Alois. While serving, after we throw the ball, can we hit the ball under the table? Is it legal?

Hi Jason,

You have to hit the ball while it is still above the level of the playing surface.

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.
