Hi Robson,

If the ball hits anywhere on the top surface of the table it is in.  So even if it just clips the edge it is a good shot.  The only time it becomes complicated is if you hit the ball form wide of the table and it hits the table on the same side.  If it hits on the side of the table it is out.
