HI,

I would like to ask a question about how to fake a shot to trick your opponent and is it allowed in table tennis?

Hi Didon,

One way to do it is to change the action of your stroke by changing body position slightly.

We do have a video response to an earlier question on this same topic.  Take a look at Faking a shot.
