The Official Rules of Table Tennis

If you play TT, you'll need to know the official rules of table tennis.
Read them here ...

The official rules of table tennis, or to give them their correct title - The Official Laws of Table Tennis - are reviewed every two years by The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).

This article explains why they're not called ping pong rules.

If you need clarification on any table tennis rule, you can check them out below - but for those of you who just want to play a friendly game, here's a quick overview of the basic rules of table tennis.

Alternatively, take a look at my other pages which explain the rules in more detail.

2.05	DEFINITIONS
2.05.01	A rally is the period during which the ball is in play.
2.05.02	The ball is in play from the last moment at which it is stationary on the palm of the free hand before being intentionally projected in service until the rally is decided as a let or a point.
2.05.03	A let is a rally of which the result is not scored.
2.05.04	A point is a rally of which the result is scored.
2.05.05	The racket hand is the hand carrying the racket.
2.05.06	The free hand is the hand not carrying the racket; the free arm is the arm of the free hand.
2.05.07	A player strikes the ball if he touches it in play with his racket, held in the hand, or with his racket hand below the wrist.
2.05.08	A player obstructs the ball if he, or anything he wears or carries, touches it in play when it is above or travelling towards the playing surface, not having touched his court since last being struck by his opponent.
2.05.09	The server is the player due to strike the ball first in a rally.

2.05.15	The end line shall be regarded as extending indefinitely in both directions.
2.06	THE SERVICE
2.06.01	Service shall start with the ball resting freely on the open palm of the server's stationary free hand.
2.06.02	The server shall then project the ball near vertically upwards, without imparting spin, so that it rises at least 16cm after leaving the palm of the free hand and then falls without touching anything before being struck.
2.06.03	As the ball is falling the server shall strike it so that it touches first his court and then, after passing over or around the net assembly, touches directly the receiver's court; in doubles, the ball shall touch successively the right half court of server and receiver.
2.06.04	From the start of service until it is struck, the ball shall be above the level of the playing surface and behind the server's end line, and it shall not be hidden from the receiver by the server or his doubles partner or by anything they wear or carry.
2.06.05	As soon as the ball has been projected, the server’s free arm shall be removed from the space between the ball and the net. Note: The space between the ball and the net is defined by the ball, the net and its indefinite upward extension.
2.06.06	It is the responsibility of the player to serve so that the umpire or the assistant umpire can see that he complies with the requirements for a good service.
2.06.06.01	If the umpire is doubtful of the legality of a service he may, on the first occasion in a match, declare a let and warn the server.
2.06.06.02	Any subsequent service of doubtful legality of that player or his doubles partner will result in a point to the receiver.
2.06.06.03	Whenever there is a clear failure to comply with the requirements for a good service, no warning shall be given and the receiver shall score a point.
2.06.07	Exceptionally, the umpire may relax the requirements for a good service where he is satisfied that compliance is prevented by physical disability.
2.07	THE RETURN
2.07.01	The ball, having been served or returned, shall be struck so that it passes over or around the net assembly and touches the opponent's court, either directly or after touching the net assembly.

2.08.03	When two players who are in wheelchairs due to a physical disability are a pair playing doubles, the server shall first make a service, the receiver shall then make a return but thereafter either player of the disabled pair may make returns. However, no part of a player’s wheelchair shall protrude beyond the imaginary extension of the centre line of the table. If it does, the umpire shall award the point to the opposing pair.
2.09	A LET
2.09.01	The rally shall be a let
2.09.01.01	if in service the ball, in passing over or around the net assembly, touches it, provided the service is otherwise good or the ball is obstructed by the receiver or his partner;
2.09.01.02	if the service is delivered when the receiving player or pair is not ready, provided that neither the receiver nor his partner attempts to strike the ball;
2.09.01.03	if failure to make a service or a return or otherwise to comply with the Laws is due to a disturbance outside the control of the player;
2.09.01.04	if play is interrupted by the umpire or assistant umpire.
2.09.01.05	if the receiver is in wheelchair due to a physical disability and in service the ball, provided that the service is otherwise correct,

Butterfly Amultart ZL Carbon blade (OFF+)
[BF-AMULTART]

RM400.00

Once received, I have tested out the new bat. I would say it is a perfect combination for Amultart together with Bryce Speed FX. It offers very good power and accuracy for offensive plays. The blade is very light, coupled with the power of bryce speed fx, I merely do not have to use a lot of energy to produce a forceful drive. Some of the balls I hit during stroking practice produces quite a lot of spin which my opponent would mistakenly assume that it is plain ball. To produce spin with Bryce speed FX is very easy and it is very powerful. Together with Amultart, the effect is enhanced tremendously. The Zl carbon provides an excellent job for controlling the ball.

On the other hand, the use of Feint AG on my back hand is another advantage when used together with Bryce Speed FX. The Feint AG produces sinking strokes for my offensive Back Hand style which makes my opponent very hard to handle when I mix together with the Bryce Speed FX. I would say for a long pip rubber, Feint AG is suitable for the offensive plays. It can do a little bit of spin at the correct angle(not as easy as short pip) which drives the ball across the net. Most of the time, the opponent would not be able to handle it correctly.

Fast attacking version of the TENERGY family
SPRING SPONGE is a totally new sponge created by BUTTERFLY, being
very different to existing rubbers.
The most notable feature is a sense of being able to hold the ball on the
racket; this has been made possible by the innovative composition of the
material used, which produces a spring loaded effect when contact is made
with the ball. The result is that a player can control spin, speed and direction
as required; the sponge will make you feel you are in total control.
TENERGY 64 is the fast attacking rubber of the
TENERGY family; no.64 is the development code of
the pimples used in producing this reversed rubber.
The pimples have a thinner diameter than the pimples
of TENERGY 05; they provide a softer feeling and more
control on the ball, especially effective from mid
distance.
BUTTERFLY High Tension technology has enabled
this fast dynamic rubber to be produced by utilizing the
innovative SPRING SPONGE.
