Return shot hits net support

Rules

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.

Whose point is it if I serve the ball with backspin so it bounces back into the net? We explain the rule in this video.

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.

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.
