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.

Doubles Serving Rules

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.
