Rules
Hello, I've got a question that's been bugging me for a while now. I've learned how to play by watching your videos which are really helpful! However, I've never had a coach or a mentor to train me, and this question has been on my mind.
Is switching between different grips allowed? Like when playing mid-game, can I switch to using the Shakehand grip from the Penhold grip then switch again if I ever wanted to?
Hi James,
Glad you are enjoying the site.
Yes you are allowed to switch grips whenever you want even mid rally. There are no rules as to how you have to hold the bat.
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.
