Official Table Tenis Rules?

[Alex]

Hey!
Does anybody play ping pong hardcore here?
I was wondering, are you allowed to strike the ball in flight before it hits your side of the table? (compare to a smash in Tennis) or does it have to bounce before you hit it?

thx! 🙂

it definitely has to hit

7. A Good Return

7.1 The ball, having been served or returned in play, shall be struck so that it passes directly over or around the net assembly and touches the opponent's court, either directly or after touching the net assembly.

7.1.1 If the ball, having been served or returned in play, returns with its own impetus over the net, it may be struck so that it touches directly the opponent's court.
