Hi Alois,
When I sack, the ball touches the net, and the ball goes out and touches my opponent off the table, what happens?
And if it is the same but the ball goes to the table, and my opponent touches the ball before the ball bounces, what happens?

Hi Alex,
If the ball is past the table then it doesn't matter what happens after that the ball is out. So if it touches your opponent it is still their point because the ball is out.
If he touches it before it hits the table and it is still over the table then it is your point.

9.1 The rally shall be:
9.1.1 - if, in service, the ball touches the net assembly to pass over it, as long as, moreover, the service is correct or the ball is obstructed by the receiver or his partner;
so i dont understand this.

Hi Alex,
The actual rule states:
It just means that it is a let if the ball touches the net and then hits the other side, unless it is hit by the other player before it hits the table.

ok. so if in my sack, the ball touches the net and before the ball bounces on the table, the ball, touches my opponent, would point to me.
alois, if I sack, in elevation, I can change my racket hand? or is incorrect?
thank you very much.

If it touches the net first it would be a let and replay the point.
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 9 years ago
You are allowed to change hands during the rally.
alex fernandez Posted 9 years ago
ok but if he touches the ball before the ball touches the table in let, is point for me. yes? (when the ball is in table not out)
ok.i asked that in the service I elevate the ball and when the ball is down I change the racket to the left hand - to the right hand. this is correct yes?
Thanks. I repite my questions because i dont understand you very much , sorry. Repeat I dont speak english very well.

No it is a let if he touches the ball before it bounces because it has hit the net.
I am not sure about the rule of changing hands during a serve. I will find out for you.
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 9 years ago
Here is a reply from our trusty umpire extraordinaire Graeme Ireland on the matter of changing hands for the serve.

ok.thank you very much. so when i sack the ball bounces once in my area touches the net and before touches my opponent area my opponent touches the ball (into the table), will be obstruction and will be point for me . yes??
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 9 years ago
No, it is a let.
alex fernandez Posted 9 years ago
ok.if the ball go out and touch the ball outside the table will be point me. yes? (in a let/net)
Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 9 years ago
That is bal goes outside the table then it is already out. It is a fault.
alex fernandez Posted 9 years ago
ok.thank you very much.i finally understand.
so when i sack the ball bounces once in my area, and touches the net before the ball touches the table, my opponent touches the ball (into the table) is to let. Right???
otherwise. when i sack the ball bounces once in my area, touches the net and goes out but my opponent touches the ball outside, will be point for my opponent. right???
thank you.
