![]() ![]() Can I switch the racket from one hand to the other, hence switching my racket hand to hit the ball during a point? | |
![]() ![]() Question from a user: If someone strikes the ball, breaks it, therefore it doesn't bounce correctly on the other side...what is the ruling? | |

![]() ![]() Ya, thanks Piper, but that didn't answer my question. I read the rules, I'm just looking for a explanation of the rules. Or a quick answer. Can my opponent hit the ball in the air, before it bounces, if it's going off the table? I was under the impression it was like tennis, you must let the ball go out before hitting it. | |
![]() ![]() Eyyyyyyyy | |
![]() ![]() TABLE TENNIS | |
![]() ![]() Hello, I have a quick question that I'm not able to answer from the official rules guide. If I hit the ball to my opponent and he hits or touches the ball with his paddle, while it is still in the air, but has already passed over his playing surface, is it my point? | |
![]() ![]() Hi Randhir verma, I encourage you to try table tennis and think you will both enjoy the sport and gain much from it in terms of exercise, hand-eye coordination, flexibility and probably make some new friends as well. At age 33 of course it is difficult to reach a very high level but with good training and commitment I think you can go far. | |
![]() ![]() Hi Charlie, you can play in several cities in Colorado that are open every week. Examples are Longmont, Fort Collins, Denver, Colorado Springs. See our Colorado page. pongworld.com/region/colorado.php | |
![]() ![]() Hi Dave, your son is incorrect. He looses the point on the serve if he does not make a legal serve which it is not if he tosses the ball in the air but does not make contact with both sides of the table. | |
![]() ![]() Calling all players in Lake Charles, LA. Interested immediate players, please contact. We have a venue at a church, and can play after work for a couple of hours. Hope to hear from you soon. | |

![]() ![]() hi folks…hopefully someone can shed some light on this question. My son claims that when he serves the ball (his racquet strikes the ball), but the ball misses the table completely - that he should not loose a point, but rather should get to redo the serve. What would the official ruling on this be. Many thx, Dave | |

![]() ![]() Hi, We are having a tournament and in the group stage we have a tie situation. 3 players are on equal points and all beat each other. i.e. player A beat B, Player B beat C, and Player C beat A.

![]() ![]() @chelancatering. thanks for the heads up. we are unable to find the IE behavior you speak of, which article has this formatting? | |
![]() ![]() Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Ie.

Hope you get the issue solved soon. Many thanks | |

![]() ![]() The number of tournament players depends on what you mean by tournament players.If you mean active ITTF tournament players then the figure is far below that.If you mean anyone in China who has ever played in a tournament then the figure is probably above 300 million since most Chinese grow up playing in school tournaments and almost everyone has played in at least one tournament at some point in their lifetime....and China has well over a billion in population. | |
![]() ![]() An olympic commentator is the original source of the tens of millions comment but thats unlikely at this point.That figure is probably way too high. | |
![]() ![]() Does anyone know how much money the top table tennis players in China make in product endorsements?I have heard its in the tens of millions.Any way to vberify this? | |

![]() ![]() @north face: blogs typically have wysiwyg editors. we code from scratch. | |
![]() ![]() Hi, is stiga carbon cr worth buying? Any other racket better in that range? | |
![]() ![]() Howdy this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated! | |

![]() ![]() @Sheila, I have been to many tournaments and I have never heard anyone say x serving y. I think just saying x-y is sufficient. I do not know if there is a specific rule about this. If a match is umpired then the the players obviously do not say the score themselves. | |
