Rules
For a serve can I bounce the ball on my side then hit it directly to the other side
Hi Kareem,
You are not allowed to do that. The ball has to hit the bat before it hits the table on your side.
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.

Thanx by the way I already new about that rule I was just helping my friend learn how to play ping pong. And it helped him a lot.
