In most cases, the ball will end up being too high, or it will hit the net. This is a tricky shot, and it’s very hard to control it. TIP: Either way, try to avoid doing this on purpose. And if the player hits the ball in his own court, by definition it's an invalid return so he loses point again. If a player reaches across the net assembly and makes a contact with ball, he loses the point immediately. The opponent in this case has to hit the ball before it passes by net assembly and is back in your court. In this situation, the point would be awarded to you. This is one of the most frequently asked question, and the answer is: Absolutely! What happens if you hit the ball (whether it’s during a serve or a rally), and once the ball hits the opponent’s side of the table, it bounces back to yours (due to spin)? Can I serve a game/match point (or does my opponent need to serve if it’s my game/match point)? This shot is only ok, as long as the ball does not end up hitting the side of the table top (white line is acceptable, side is not). So, even though the ball doesn't travel over or around the net when you hit the ball, the rules say it doesn't matter. So basically, as long as the ball does not go under the net, or between the net post and the net for those nets that do not extend to the net post, it is considered to have passed over or around the net assembly if you hit the ball and it goes on the opponent's playing surface. If the ball hits the net and doesn’t make it to the other half of the table, the receiver is automatically awarded a point.ĭuring a rally, if the ball hits the net but still bounces on the opponent’s side of the table, the rally continues, but if the ball hits the net and doesn’t make it to the other half of the table, the receiver is automatically awarded a point. What happens if the balls hits the net, or goes around the net?ĭuring a serve, if the ball hits the net but still bounces on the opponent’s side of the table, the point is a let (which means it needs to be replayed). In practice, this is not done very often since it can put the server out of position for the rest of the rally. So it is perfectly legal to serve from way outside the sidelines of the table, provided the ball remains behind the end line at the start of the serve.
The receiver can stand wherever he deems ok. If you’re the person serving, you need to stand behind the end line of the table, and the ball needs to be visible, and above the surface of the table.
