Basic Rules of Table Tennis | PingSkills 

- 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)

I really love that Pingskills makes videos that tackles topics on table tennis that most need to know

It was fun watching this... The last part with those different bat sizes 😂😂😂😂

Lol every time Jeff score a point he's extremely happy 😂😂😂😂😂

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

This is suprisingly entertaining. These dudes seem like good friends :)

Allways pleasure to watch. And Alois: With your excellent didactics and pronunciation you´d be a great english teacher ;-)

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

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

"Only your free hand is not allowed to touch the table" *Stands on the table to assert dominance*

The sound of the ball on the table is so satisfying. Besides great videos

Thanks I am going to play my first tournament in about a month and I wasn’t sure on the rules this helped out a lot

very clear explanation. Thank you

Lovely content guys, keep up the good work. We've been missing you a lot!

i really love the content! more power to this channel! stay safe everyone!

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.

Always love to watch your videos.

Thank u alot If I get selected for tabletennis competition it gonna help me alot😍

I'm here for my report about the rules in table tennis

Thank you. Great video.

Wow! This really helps , thank you for posting this i have an upcoming championship tomorrow so yes ❤

My teacher is gonna present this video during online Ping-Pong club ltr, he must really like this vid ✌🏻

Great video!! Really cleared up a lot! Been getting into table tennis lately and you guys really helped!

Excellent explanation

Good job Mr Plumb

Here from homework lol

Very nice. It's fun watching you guys play. But I am missing Table Tennis a lot 😪.In lockdown I couldnt play. Hoping everything sorts out!!

Great video!

This is helpful thank you

had to watch this to remind myself of the rules since i haven't played in a while THANK U THIS WAS REALLY HELPFUL!

Super explanation....thankz.Am good with the rules now❤

This is an amazing video. Really helped for my project! Thanks

Thank you so much for the informations.🙂🙏

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.

I liked your game at the end with the big and small paddles 😂❤

We have a table tennis table in our hostel. So we're learning to play and this is really helpful. Thanks!

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 👍

Thank you so much 😊

when you play singles do you switch sides left to right or do you still serv on the right

Great video really well explained thanks guys

Excellent sir

Love the video

Thank you ❤️

Thank you for this information 😊

Good job

Wow, had no idea about the volleys. I thought it was just like tennis rules.

Best explication .. ever :) thank you gays

thank you so much for explaining very clearly ^^

a real teacher

Beautiful explanation Big Brthrs

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

Ty for this. We have been playing wrong for years lol

THANK YOU FOR THIS MY FAMILY IS ALWAYS ARGUING ABOUT THE RULES, TIME TO SPIT EM SOME FACTS B)

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👍🤘

sick video

Watching from asia nepal I also play in my school

Who here for Online school?

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

Thankyou sir! I like big racket!!

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..

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.

Thats a cool explanation thanks much

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 basically my class made me join a table tennis team cause they needed boys, thanks bro ur vid is gonna save me

Lovely presentation

Thank you!!!!

Superb

1:45

You discribed everything what my teacher told us to learn🤣

So we are all here for PE work 🙂🥛

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:

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 😂

Anyone else have to watch this for homework

If we score more points we win

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.

Thank you

i have a tournament today and its doubles so i'm watching this

Can it use hand or other body part when to hit the ball back in table tennis?

It's nice, I even got better😊

Watching this for homework

Nice

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..

I watched the video even though I play TT for 20 years. :D

The only thing missing is explaining where the ball needs to bounce first when serving. This is very important information.

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

Yes new been playing about two months

introducing all my friends to the basic rules of table tennis by starting the video at 7:45

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.

good job

Sir if we playing time we can cros that side lines
