Hitting ball through gap between net and table top
Rules
Brian Far Asked 2 years ago
I accidentally hit the ball through an unintentional gap between net and table top. So the ball would have hit the join in the centre of the table. Is it legal? I guess the poor table was actually illegal, but it’s used by beginners to have fun.

Hi Brian,
Unfortunately that is not a legal shot. The ball needs to go over or around the net and isn't allowed to go between the net and the table.
