Hi Coach, I was wondering, Is it legal to switch the racquet to the other hand and hit the ball during a point or between points or at any other time during the game.

Hi Patrick,

Yes it is legal to do it.  You will see Timo Boll do it sometimes when he is really out of position and can't reach the ball.
