hey there TT masters I have a question, does the ball have to go over the net in order to be my point or my opponent's point? Or can it go on the side of the table and bounce on my opponent's table and be my point??

thanks.

Hi Alex,

The ball can go around the net as well.  This can happen if your opponent hits the ball out wide and you hit it from outside the line of the table.

Hi Alex,

Take a look at the best shot from the PingSkills Classic for an example of this.

How can I play a shot UNDER the net?

(I mean,under the side of the net,which hangs behind the side-edge)

If you let the ball drop low to the ground that is also possible.
