When preparing for a serve, does the server have to show the blade in view (above table) of the opponent?

Hi Andy,

You don’t have to show your opponent the racket before the serve. This was a rule in the past but not any longer.

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.
