Rule regarding a "carry"during a stroke
Rules
Phillip Simmons Asked 9 years ago
Hello coaches, Phillip again with another question. I can't find any rule that covers a "carry" during a return or stroke. The "carry" I am asking about is similiar to the "carry" in tennis where the ball is carried on the racket for a moment rather than a rebound off the racket. I saw one today for the first time. So is it legal?
I really appreciate your research on questions and quick response time.

Hi Phillip,
I think in the past it would have been a problem and a point against you but now with the new rule of being able to hit the ball more than once as long as it is not intentional I think you would get away with it.
The new rule adds the word deliberately:
| 2.10.01 | Unless the rally is a let, a player shall score a point |
| 2.10.01.07 | If an opponent deliberately strikes the ball twice in succession; |

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.

Yes as long as it is not deliberate.
