Change of holding bat in a single match

Rules

Mahesh Kumar Asked 9 years ago

Hi Alois,

Can we do the penhold service and quickly turn into handshake mode? Because penhold allows to generate more wrist work and my penhold backhand is very weak. .It works for me in doubles.

Is it allowed to do switching of bat handling during during match?

Is it worth it?

Hi Mahesh,

It is allowed but I don't think it is worth it.

You can just modify your shakehand grip by releasing the fingers from around the handle. With that modification you can use your wrist the same way as you do with the penhold grip. Then it is easier to get back to your shakehand grip for the rally.

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.
