What happens if the ball hits your finger and the ball makes it to the other side?

sampletext · Jun 17, 2020

I don't know if this has already been answered, but what happens if the ball hits your finger and the ball makes it to the other side? Does the other person get the point/redo? Or does the finger ball count?

If the finger is on the hand holding the racket it counts. Everything above the wrist.

usually said ball is very difficult to play for the opponent !!!

The result is a broken finger on one side and a broken heart on the other. But life goes on, and there is no such thing as re-do's.

If in the swing, of even zero mm, the ball strikes the finger of the bat hand, then noticeably hits the bat, ball flies off in unpredictable angle and spin, and ball goes around the net to land on opponent's end... even then it is a good shot and the rally is still active.

lasta,

Your response provides me a strong temptation to mention what else may be hurt that may or may not be suitable for reading audiences of people over the age of 50.

The racket hand is interpreted as the part that extends from the wrist downwards basing on the human anatomical position so if it hits the fingers and goes back to the other side, it is legal and play continues.

I feel like finger contact + rubber contact returns the ball like long pimples do but in a strange way

That means if you're good enough and don't mind being called dirty, you can legally give your opponents literal knuckle balls or backhand balls as a means to vary the speed and spin and still have offensive rubbers on both sides of your blade.

Would it be okey to serve on the hand om purpose when serving bh? Maybe start with that haha

I use this shot often, usually to my advantage. Wish I could do it deliberately, but hey ho !

We could start a whole new thread on wearing what type of rubber gloves made from high spin, speed, control rubbers!
