Hi,

I was wondering if it is permissable to change hands during play? In other words, can I switch back and forth from holding my paddle in my right and left hands during a game?

Thanks!

Hi Bart,

Yes you are allowed to switch hands at any time.  You do sometimes see this happen at the top level.

Timo Boll is the only person I know who can do it on the international level.
