Ok so,I have a question, where in a serve

When I toss the ball and catch it with my toss hand afterwards despite the ball not land on the ground or finishing my stroke,I mean I catch a bad toss and no contact with the ball

Or

I make toss,make a movement(stroke) but stop in midway and catch the ball with my free hand

Someone told me they are considered as fault

So is it really consider as a fault?

I know in tennis,sometimes players made bad toss and catch the ball but it is not considered as fault

Hi Melvyn,

They are both a fault.  As soon as the ball leaves your hand it is in play even if you don't swing at it.

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.
