Cheers,
Jeff Plumb and Alois Rosario - Sport
- volley inside your field (over the table) is a point for your opponent (and outside/past the table - for you)
- ball hits the net in rally and lands normally - rally continues
- ball hits the net on the serve and lands normally (let serve) - serve is repeated (as many times as needed)
- ball lands on the table or hits the edge - IN
- ball hits side of the table - OUT
- missing the ball on the serve or catching it - point lost (after throwing the ball up, it's in play)
- touching the table with your free hand is not allowed, although
- touching with your elbow or leaning on it is allowed, as long as you don't move the table
- size of the bat is not restricted, hence, you are allowed to play with any
doubles:
- hitting the ball in turns (out of turn results in a point loss)
- serving is always done from your right hand box diagonally to your opponents right hand box (never from left)
- teammates swap positions only after their serve period is finished (and not after the opponent's serve)
Thank you I have to do this for school and I don’t want to watch it
IF YOU HIT THE BALL INTENTIONALLY OUTSIDE THE TABLE AND YOU MISS THE SHOOT WHO WINS THE POINT?

Allways pleasure to watch. And Alois: With your excellent didactics and pronunciation you´d be a great english teacher ;-)
Yes, he does speak very clearly. Cheers, Jeff.
It may be the only youtube channel I might be able to watch in 3x speed, only concerning the listening part.
Sir hi i am your biggest fan
I like how in 4:05 he plays the serve wrong for the sake of explaning but his friend cheers himself up for getting the point LMAO
Had to watch this cause my step dad made up his own rules... I also put it on stream mode for every TV in my house so he had to watch it everywhere he went in here.
Lol
The sound of the ball on the table is so satisfying. Besides great videos
very clear explanation.
Thank you
"Only your free hand is not allowed to touch the table"
*Stands on the table to assert dominance*
Who gets the point when it hit twice on opponent side in a rally.

haha, glad we could help. I hope you enjoy your time with the team.
So we are all here for PE work 🙂🥛
Yes
Yup
Im here for the tournament
Superb
Watching from asia nepal I also play in my school
when you play singles do you switch sides left to right or do you still serv on the right
Thats a cool explanation thanks much
You're welcome.
I saw you talk about serving while playing doubles, maybe I missed the singles bit. I have friends who say you always have to serve from the right half, to the right half of the player on the other side (diagonally). Others say in singles you can serve wherever.
Guess I’ll google it. Good vid none the less 👍
In singles you can serve from anywhere to anywhere. There are other rules like you must serve from behind the baseline.
Beautiful explanation Big Brthrs
What about the white borders on the table covering all 4 sides (except the middle one).. what purpose does these serve..I mean if you hit the edge of the table you still get the point anyway.. then what's the purpose of making the white borders like a tennis/badminton court..where borders are crucial to limit the playable area...
Thankyou sir! I like big racket!!
Me too :)
Thank you
You're welcome.
Hey thanks a lot guys i started playing tt after watching like 2 years ago you guy and made me really improve at tt much love ❤️ from india
Great to hear. Good luck with your table tennis.
I have some questions, can you grab the bat with both hands? Just curious and can you touch the ball with another part of the bat, like the handle?
Thank You, Could you say abt serving position as well pls..
Hi ...njanum keralathilninnanu. ....njan table tennis trickshots cheyunnu...onnu kandanokkane..please..
Take a look at these tutorials for information on serving and receiving: pingskills.com/categories/serving-and-receiving
You discribed everything what my teacher told us to learn🤣
Good video 👍🏻 I think my mistake in table tennis is that I do everything ambidextrous 🙈 so serve, forehand and backhand 😂 have a small short uploaded to it 😄 comes maybe from the fact that I'm actually tennis player
Just bought a table tennis 🏓 kit for a cookout and picnic celebration….have no idea how to play lol ! I’m watching this so that we can know how to guide the guests who will be playing 😂
Is it the opponent's point if say during a backhand push the ball hits my forefinger and is deflected towards the rubber for a double hit in a tiny fraction of a second? Another instance is the bat quivers during contact and hits the ball twice in the blink of an eye. The very rapid double contact can at times be discerned.
Anyone else have to watch this for homework
haha, I hope it helps!
me right now for pe class💀
Mer
I have to watch it for a lesson
No Just Learning
Hello coach! I have a question. Often in the rally, the ball tends to touch the net after I hit it really hard, but it's usually still a "play on", and giving the nature of the shot, it's kinda hard for my opponent to respond, so it's often my point. He says that it's unfair and we should repeat the point because the net is probably too loose, but I know it's as streched out as possible. What should we do there? Are my points valid, or I'm the one who's wrong?
Thank you c:
You are correct, it is your point.
@@pingskills Thanks :)
Your friend is a child and needs to get over it. It’s what we call a lucky shot, and basic table tennis etiquette is to apologize when that happens. Same for points when the ball hits the edge. Nevertheless, it’s your point.
Nice
Watching this for homework
7:43
Is this a fault because you let the ball bounce on your left side into your opponents right side?
Lol I already know. It's not doubles
good job
Thanks!
I watched the video even though I play TT for 20 years. :D
Hey I know it was said in the video but
What happend if I serve and I hit the net
What will happend will I do 1 serve because I failed the first serve or I will still have the 2 serves??
Sorry for bad English
@@fbi8419 You have unlimited serves in table tennis.
@Elizabeth Chagnon I cannot remember.
i have a tournament today and its doubles so i'm watching this
1:45
It's nice, I even got better😊
Great to hear.
Would like to kw size of tht room. M planning to buy one for myself but worried about the space, which kinda look same in which u two r playing..
Can it use hand or other body part when to hit the ball back in table tennis?
No, you need to have the bat in your hand. If the ball hits you hand holding the bat then that is OK.
Yes new been playing about two months
I hope you're still enjoying your table tennis and continuing to improve.
Refreshing my skills...its been long, 11 yrs😂😂
Hopefully our videos can help you out. Don't forget to check out our website too: www.PingSkills.com
How have you been progressing?
Thank you.
I have a question.
You said in serve rules that I can't contact my bat over the table.
Is that mean if I hit the ball behind the table and contact my bat on table illegal serve
No, on the serve as long as you hit the ball behind the baseline then your bat can then move over the table and in fact hit the table as long as it does not move the table.
hey, - I know all the rules as Ive been playing off n on for 50 years, so almost skipped the vid - blimey! just found out i don't!. The out of play volley ( a past source of argument after a fast return has hit the bat beyond the line - usually left to the hitter to claim or not!)) and the 'in play' as soon as leaving the hand.( a regular thing with an old team-mate but never pulled up over it) cheers guys.
I'm glad you watch the video :)
Same
Great, and fun. I must get a big bat
Yes, the big bat is a lot of fun to play with!
