Changing the bat between hands
Rules
Ali Zarei Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois and Jeff , can we change the bat between our hands during a rally? I mean I can't reach a ball and I'm right handed can I play a shot with my left hand? Thanks.

Hi Ali,
Yes this is perfectly good. You aren't allowed to have two bats though.
You will see some of the top players changing hands at times. Timo Boll has done this a few times when he is caught with the ball wide on his backhand side.
