Hi Coach, I was wondering, Is it legal to switch the racquet to the other hand and hit the ball during a point or between points or at any other time during the game.

Hi Patrick,

Yes it is legal to do it.  You will see Timo Boll do it sometimes when he is really out of position and can't reach 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.
