Hello,

I wanted to ask that if my opponent serves or returns the ball very close to the net on my side,is it ok if my abdomen touches the edge of the table of my side to receive the ball because i need to bring the racket too close to the net to receive the ball???

Hi Harishvar,

Yes that is ok. ย The only part of your body that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand.
