Switching hands

Rules

Coach, I believe you misunderstood my question about switching hands. I am throwing the ball up in the air  with my free hand but once the ball is thrown up  and, before contact, I switch the blade to my free hand and then strike the ball. Try this (must have some ability to play with either hand ) and with some type of succes you will see looks of confusion on your opponert's face. With good timing and stoke selection this can give you another weapon. Again, is this legal?, Thanks again, Steve (this is a great site-love it).

Hi Steve,

Yes that is what I thought.  I don't think you are allowed to do it.

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.
