Hi Alois And Jeff!

I'm asking a question that in table tennis, you can change your handed? (like left handed to right handed or right handed to left handed)

Timo Boll did this so I don't know if it is illegal or legal...

Hi Patrick,

This i s allowed.  It is difficult to play with both hands but you are allowed to do it.
