julian baquero Asked 11 years ago
So recently i´ve heard that it is no longer forbidden to touch the table in the middle of a point cutting a short serve for example, i wouild like to know if its true.

Hi Julian,
It has always been legal to touch the table with your bat. The only thing that isn’t allowed to touch the surface of the table is your free hand.
I hope this clears it up for you.

What if the hand in which we are holding racket touches the table?
That is allowed.

What if you hide the serve
Thats is not allowed. You need to have the ball visible to your opponent throughout the serve.
