Wood/hand

joshnathan llorente Asked 12 years ago

good day sir ..

will it still be a good shot when the ball hits the hand or the wood part of the racket?

Hi Joshnathan,

Yes this is still a good shot. Everything below your wrist is considered part of the racket.

I read this rule earlier and it makes me wonder if it's legal to intentionally hit the ball with your racket hand, for the purposes of neutralizing spin when returning a serve, or for a short drop shot. I'm not sure if it would be worthwhile to do though, however.

Hi B G,

It would certainly be legal but it would be difficult to make your return effective. Interesting thought though.

You would have to still have the racket in your hand as well.
