hi alois

I'm playing table tennis in a park and there was air.  My friend hit the ball and the ball bounces in my zone but I ball (because of the air) goes to the net, but before the ball bounces in my zone again i can hit the ball.

My question is: if the ball bounces in my zone and then hit the net,

can i hit the ball or When the ball hit the net is a hit wrong?

Hi Alex,

Yes you could hit the ball after it hit the net as long as it doesn't bounce for the second time on your side of the table.  This isn't something that would happen too often but it could happen with severe spin.

Hitting the Ceiling

When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
