If a return shot hits the metal net support and then lands on the opponent's table, is it still a good shot?

Hi Charles,

Yes, this is still good.  The net post and supports are considered as part of the net.  So this would be the same as i the ball hits the net and goes in.

If the ball hits any part of the table then lands on the opponent's coat (even if it is not possible), is that a correct shot.

Sorry Aasim but I'm not sure what you mean by the opponent's coat.

Sorry i mean that, when the ball hits any part of the table like legs or any other and then lands on opponents side. Is it a good return?

I don't think it is possible but as soon as it hits anything except the top of the table the ball is out of play and the point ends.
