Hi Alois and Jeff,
I am curious to know whether you can change your grip in a match. For example, from shakehand to penhold in the same match. Thank you Harikrishnan

Hi Harikrishnan,
You certainly can change your grip during a match. In fact you can change it during a point if you like.
Most people are better off training with a single grip though and hence become more proficient using that grip. I can't recall seeing anyone change grips during a match.

Doubles Serving Rules
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
