If player #1 hits the ball towards the outside but player #2 hits it, whose point is it?

We talk about this in our lesson on the rules of Table Tennis. Basically it depends on where player #2 hits the ball. If the ball has not yet bounced but is still over the table and player #2 hits the ball on the full he loses the point and player #1 wins the point. However if the ball has crossed past the end line of the table then the point ends even if player #2 hits it on the full and the point goes to player #2.

I hope this helps. Take a look at the lesson for more details.

Side of Table

If the ball hits any part of the top of the table then the ball is in play. If it only hits the side of the table then it is out.
