Rules of a double hit
Rules
Supun Gamage Asked 6 years ago
When you are serving or returning a ball if the ball hits both your bat and the hand or vice versa and lands on opponents side is it legal? And what if it only hits your hand or fingers?

Hi Supun,
It is legal to hit the ball twice as long as it is unintentional. If it hits your bat and your hand that is still a good shot and the point is continued.
Up to the wrist is considered part of the bat. Therefore, even if the ball only hits your hand or finger and goes on it is considered a good shot.

Touching the Table
Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.

so the unintentional double hit only accounts up to wrist right ? other areas like your shirt or chest is illegal ?
That is right Supun.
