Hi

when serving, If the player throws the ball and couldn't hit it with the bat will he lose a point ?

and if he throws and hits it but it didn't touch the playing surface ?

Hi Ahmad,

As soon as the ball leaves the hand it is in play.  So even if you miss the ball or deliberately catch i again, you lose the point. Or if you hit it and it misses the playing surface it is definitely the other persons point.

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.
