Every Hit should cross the Net
Rules

Hi Alois
Thanks a lot for your videos :)
My question is
Do every return should be cross the net before hitting the opponents board.
Thanks
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
When you serve you hit the ball down onto your own side first. For every other shot you need to hit the ball over the net and then it touches your opponents side of the table.
I hope this clears it up for you.

Hitting the Ceiling
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.

Hi Alios;
I have seen in a match organised by Pingskills , the backhand return was pass from the side of net to the other player court, and the shot was well appreciated. pls comment.
Hi Dilip,
The ball doesn't have to go over the net as such but can go around it. It was bad wording by me above.
