If I'm playing in a tight spot and the ball hits the walls or ceiling and hits the table after, is that in or out

Hi Boris,

The short answer is "it is out".

The ball isn't allowed to touch anything else except the net or net post before it hits the other side of the table.

Take a look at our Rules Brochure which is availbale in our Lesson on Rules of Table Tennis for a summary of the most important rules.

Good luck with your table tennis.
