If a player hits the table tennis bat on the table will the opponent get a point or it is fine?
Thx for helping

Hi Arya,
You are allowed to touch the table with your bat. In fact the only thing that can't touch the table is your free hand. Watch this video to see us explain this rule in detail.

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.
