Rules
I see players wiping sweat off their hands onto the surface of the table.
This practice must be legal, but surely there is a limit.
It is hard to believe it is OK to wipe any substance onto the table.
What gives with practice.
Hi Jay,
It is a common practice and is normally allowed. Players normally wipe their hands close to the net where the ball doesn't really bounce.
If the ball hits any part of the top of the table then the ball is in play. If it only hits the side of the table then it is out.
