Hi Alois,

Can you please tell me in a single game whether is it allowed to switch from one hand to another hand, e.g., switching from right hand to left hand, and possibly again to right hand?

With regards,

Hi Prosenjit,

Yes you are allowed to change hands in a match.  In fact you are allowed to do it in a rally as well.

Doubles Serving Rules

In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
