Touching the table between points

Marv Anderson Asked 9 years ago

 Hello, Alois and Jeff,

I have noticed that a lot of players will place their flat hand on the table, next to the net, between points.  Why do they do this?  Is it some kind of rule, or just a superstition?

Thanks

Marv

Hi Marv,

This is usually to wipe the sweat off their hand or cool their hand down.  For some though, it is a habit or ritual and just part of their routine.
