Table Tennis question about hitting bat on table
by Rakesh
(India)
I have a table tennis question for you that I can't find the answer to.
When we are playing a game, what happens if we hit the bat on the table? Is it allowed?

Rakesh,
Thanks for your question.
It's OK if your bat hits the table when you are playing your shot.
The only time it would be a problem is if you moved the table at the same time. If you move the table, you lose the point.
The official name for a bat is a racket, but it's called a paddle or a bat by some people.
