Wiping sweat onto the table.
Rules
Jay Unknown Asked 16 years ago
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.
