Hi Alois!

If my opponent serves with great backspin such that after hitting on my side it tends to go to my opponent's side of the table, am i allowed to hit the ball while it's in the air but above the opponent's side of the table?

Hi Rishav,

Yes you are allowed to hit it when it is over their side.  It can happen sometimes because of the backspin on the ball.

You are allowed to move anywhere around the table.
