Hi Alois,

Is the legal to loop/short push the ball from sideways of TT table (lower than the net)?

Thanks,

Raghav

Hi Raghav,

Yes it is.  The ball doesn't have to go over the net.  If the ball comes wide enough to you then you can hit it so that it passes around the net.

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.
