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
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 👍
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👍🤘
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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 😂
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
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
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.
I understood all the rules described in this video axcept the game end points to 11 or 12 and this is because my poor understanding of english. I will go to local coach for this.

- 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

The sound of the ball on the table is so satisfying. Besides great videos
Allways pleasure to watch. And Alois: With your excellent didactics and pronunciation you´d be a great english teacher ;-)

"Only your free hand is not allowed to touch the table"
*Stands on the table to assert dominance*
@ujjwal4620you, your opponent loses the point
Thanks for explaining. It's very clear. 👍👍👍
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?
Wow! This really helps , thank you for posting this i have an upcoming championship tomorrow so yes ❤

I liked your game at the end with the big and small paddles 😂❤
when you play singles do you switch sides left to right or do you still serv on the right
Thank You, Could you say abt serving position as well pls..
Hi ...njanum keralathilninnanu. ....njan table tennis trickshots cheyunnu...onnu kandanokkane..please..

Great video!! Really cleared up a lot! Been getting into table tennis lately and you guys really helped!
Glad we can help. Good luck with your table tennis.
Excellent explanation
THANK YOU FOR THIS MY FAMILY IS ALWAYS ARGUING ABOUT THE RULES, TIME TO SPIT EM SOME FACTS B)
I feel sorry for your family
Thank you. Great video.
Wow, had no idea about the volleys. I thought it was just like tennis rules.
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.
I gotta watch this for our tournament😊❤
I hope it helps!
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 :)
Anyone else have to watch this for homework

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
Great video really well explained thanks guys
You're welcome. I'm glad you got something out of the video.
So we are all here for PE work 🙂🥛

haha.
That's your point
Then I am sorry.. Ping pong is not for you 😂😂
Watching from asia nepal I also play in my school
Thank you for this information 😊
Our pleasure 😊
You discribed everything what my teacher told us to learn🤣
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.
This is helpful thank you
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.
Good job
Best explication .. ever :) thank you gays
You're welcome.
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.
Lovely presentation
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the informations.🙂🙏
Beautiful explanation Big Brthrs
thank you so much for explaining very clearly ^^
a real teacher
is it allowed to hit the ball with any part of the bat?
Yes.
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 😂
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
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.
Can we serve from above the table or we should be out of the table for serve

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
Is there anyone watching this for fun?

It is fine for the bat to touch the table.
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..
Watching this for homework

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?
Thats a cool explanation thanks much
You're welcome.
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.
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.
Excellent sir
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.
