Coach,

What happens if you drop your paddle during a play?

Hi Andrew,

You can pick it up again but you aren't allowed to hit the ball if you haven't got the paddle in your hand.

Nice pickup Ian. Luckily for me Alois hit the ball with his hand before I put my free hand on the table so I'm going to claim the point!
