Double Hit

Rules

morris kaplan Asked 13 years ago

Hi Alois,

i am incredulous! Anytime the ball hits both the paddle and the hand it is a double hit!

is it not? it does not matter which is hit first.

if you are right, i have been playing by the wrong rules.

we are talking ittf right?

thanx

Hi Morris,

The rules were changed recently. Now if the ball hits both your hand and the bat and it is not intentional it is play on. These are the ITTF rules now.

Take a look at our video response to the question Hand or Finger Foul.

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.
