I have a tournament tomorrow and it’s table tennis and I legit got picked and idk how to play but this helped so well and you used very clear sentences to describe how you play thanks
@@valen_tined173 when we did it our group got into the finals when nobody knew how to play we must did it for fun but we still won so just have a good time and enjoy it
Love that you guys are still making videos, I really binge your stuff when I'm playing frequently and they've always been helpful. I haven't played in a while though due to covid though..soon
thanks fellas, im still digging through your old vids, this 1 is very helpful, Our club which isn't even a club {yet} has been for the last couple of months just rallying for fun but we are starting to bring in basic rules so very helpful
One of the best channel to learn table tennis. Excellent way of explaining and now you are also trying to entertain us in between. This channel has progressed beautifully👍🤘
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 👍
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:
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.
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
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.
Thanks for the helpful info, sadly it's been months since I last played so this was a good refresh on the basic rules. Also would love to see you try to pen hold that giant bat.
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...
No, in singles you can serve from anywhere to anywhere. Have a look at this video for more details: www.pingskills.com/tutorials/introduction-to-serving/service-rules
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.
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 😂
You can hold the bat however you wish. There are no rules about this but if you look on our website at the videos on serving we have some suggestions on the best way to hold your bat, especially for the pendulum serve.
Can we serve from above the table or we should be out of the table for serve And is it compulsory to toss the ball before serve? Lastly can we touch our tt bat/ racket of the table
You must serve from behind the baseline. You must throw the ball up at least 6 inches. You can touch the table with your bat. See this video for more information: www.pingskills.com/tutorials/introduction-to-serving/service-rules
@@masternoone7355 I know it sounds simple but the real key here is to watch the ball as closely as possible. The other thing is to ensure you are using the correct grip and your finger is not covering too much of the bat. Good luck!
I really love that Pingskills makes videos that tackles topics on table tennis that most need to know
Thanks for your support.

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.

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.
Here from homework lol
Haha, I hope we were able to help!
Wow! This really helps , thank you for posting this i have an upcoming championship tomorrow so yes ❤
THANK YOU FOR THIS MY FAMILY IS ALWAYS ARGUING ABOUT THE RULES, TIME TO SPIT EM SOME FACTS B)

Watching from asia nepal I also play in my school
Excellent explanation
when you play singles do you switch sides left to right or do you still serv on the right
So basically my class made me join a table tennis team cause they needed boys, thanks bro ur vid is gonna save me
haha, glad we could help. I hope you enjoy your time with the team.
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.
A very charming video and very informative. Thanks

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.
Ty for this. We have been playing wrong for years lol
Thank you. Great video.
The only thing missing is explaining where the ball needs to bounce first when serving. This is very important information.
In singles, the ball must bounce anywhere on your side of the table first.
@@pingskills right.. I was just pointing out they left that part out.
Good job Mr Plumb
This is very helpful. I gave finally understood table tennis very well. Thank you guys😘😊😘😊
You are welcome! Good luck with your table tennis!
Great video!
How did you know i was having arguments lolol
Thanks for the helpful info, sadly it's been months since I last played so this was a good refresh on the basic rules. Also would love to see you try to pen hold that giant bat.
That would be a challenge. We'll have to try it :)
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?
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...
So amazing 😌 tutorial!! Thank you 🙏😀, sir!!
2:55 The score board.
911 whats ur emergency
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
I gotta watch this for our tournament😊❤
I hope it helps!
Best explication .. ever :) thank you gays
You're welcome.
Good job
Do they count the score when your arm or body touch the ball and return to opponent side ?
No, if the ball hits your arm or your body, you lose the point.
Only if the ball touches your body over the table surface.
Great video really well explained thanks guys
You're welcome. I'm glad you got something out of the video.
In singles, do I need to serve from the right square into theirs?
No, in singles you can serve from anywhere to anywhere. Have a look at this video for more details: www.pingskills.com/tutorials/introduction-to-serving/service-rules
Lovely presentation
Thanks!
This is helpful thank you
is it allowed to hit the ball with any part of the bat?
Yes.
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.
introducing all my friends to the basic rules of table tennis by starting the video at 7:45
Who here for Online school?
Ehh I just wanna learn how to count the points because I feel like they be cheating
That’s what I want to know as well
a real teacher
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 😂
You discribed everything what my teacher told us to learn🤣
you can serve and hold the bat however way you want or are there rules abt that too?
You can hold the bat however you wish. There are no rules about this but if you look on our website at the videos on serving we have some suggestions on the best way to hold your bat, especially for the pendulum serve.

Can we move around the table to hit ( on the sides)or should we stand outside the table?
Yes you can move around the table.
If your about to serve and you hit the net but it goes out, do you restart the serve or a point is given to your opponet?
If you miss the table you lose the point, even if it hits the net on the way over.
Excellent sir
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
Recently my school brought in table tennis and I really want to be the umpire so my lower classmates can learn fairness, btw thank you
You are welcome.
Thank you so much for the informations.🙂🙏
Hi just want to ask. During serve the ball hits the net and goes out the table is it lit or considered points to the opponent...
That is a fault and the server loses the point. For it to be a let it must be a legal serve besides it touching the net on the way over.
@@pingskills thanks! Much appreciated🙏 can you male a video on how to avoid or reduce hitting your fingers while playing?
@@masternoone7355 I know it sounds simple but the real key here is to watch the ball as closely as possible. The other thing is to ensure you are using the correct grip and your finger is not covering too much of the bat. Good luck!
In singles, do I have to make a cross-serve? (Diagonal)or(bounce on left then onto right side)?
No, in singles you can serve from anywhere to anywhere.
at 5:18, you explained about touching the table.. what happens if the bat touches the table?
It is fine for the bat to touch the table.
Thats a cool explanation thanks much
You're welcome.
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..
