Hi Dennis,
Good to have you back coming to us from Gibraltar.
A double handed shot is allowed. I recently checked with Graeme Ireland a noted Umpire and Referee and he assures me that you are allowed to do that.

Doubles Serving Rules
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.

In tennis it gives you more control and power, because you are hitting the ball with more strenght, but in table tennis it isn't good because it reduce the speed of the stroke....
