Hi Alois & Jeff,
What if I serve a ball that hits the net and looks like its going to be a let and my opponent hits it before it hits his side of the table...(keeping in mind that it was going to be a let) is that considered a let or my point because he hit it before it hit his side of the table?
Thanks guys

Hi Collin,
If the ball hits the net on the serve and then is about to bounce on the table but is hit by your opponent, it would still be a let. If the ball had not hit the net on the way through it would be your point.

what is let?
Collin Hill Posted 11 years ago
It's when you serve the ball and it touches the net but it still lands in. Its a do over :)

When i first played tt, i actually thought it was net instead of let. Well its let when it hit the net so haha

I think let comes from filet, French word for net.

That is interesting Martin. I hadn't heard that before.
