Stomping in play

Rules

Varun Chaturvedi Asked 13 years ago

Hey Alois I find most of the players stomp their foot while playing.Is it allowed?

Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago

Hi Varun,

You are allowed to stomp as long as you are not making noise to deliberately put the other player off.

I don't think it ever gets called by umpires now. In the past the rule was more strict and you weren't allowed to stomp. his rule has now changed.

Was the rules that much strict in those days?

Alois Rosario from PingSkills Posted 13 years ago
They were stricter about the stamping but it was in the days when you could use the same colour on both sides and when more players used anti spin so hearing the sound of the ball hitting the bat was more important to be able to tell which side they were hitting it with.

How did you know all this?

I used to play when the foot stamping rule and the same colour on both sides was in.
