Rules

I heard last week (February 2018) that the table tennis rules now allow a player to place his/her free hand on the table while making a shot.  Is this correct?

Hi Harold,

No, this is not correct.  You still are not allowed to touch the table with your free hand.

What happens if you drop your racket in the middle of the rally. Are you allowed to continue the rally?
