1. What is bottoming out? For the longest time I thought it was when I made a stroke and the ball never dug far enough into the rubber to make contact with the wood, and thus the ball would just drop as it was never propelled. But recently someone told me it happens more with thinner rubbers which made me think otherwise.
2. Drive. I thought a drive was just an extended version of a block, but someone recently told me it was just a loop with less arc. Clarification please?
3. Rule question. Can you call a let and refuse to hit a ball simply because they served to quickly and you weren't ready yet?
4. Rule question #2. I understand the every 6 points is a towel/water break, but as someone who occasionally during a heated game sweats quite a bit I keep a towel on one of the bars of the table I'm playing on and use it whenever the opponent is walking away to pick up the ball. Is this allowed?
Thanks for the help from all you knowledgable members!
