Hitting the finger

Rules

dipansh jindal Asked 13 years ago

When i play table tennis with a opponent and he does a topspin the ball usually touches my finger on the bat. i am wondering is it allowed to touch the finger on the ball.(not the free hand finger)

Hi Dipansh,

If the ball hits the finger only and not the bat it is always OK. it is also OK if it hits the finger and the bat as long as it is unintentional. This is a new rule.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.

That is still OK.
