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.
