Let or not?

Rules

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.

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