Open Question: Ping-Pong Ball Hit Out and Over the Table?
Jun/100
Imagine this scenario:
Player A and Player B are playing a game of ping-pong/table tennis.
Player A returns the ball very fast but too hardly and and it flies out of bounds (very obvious that is is going out of bounds)
Player B not having time to react, can not move his paddle/paddle hand out of the path of the ping pong ball, and the ball ends up striking his/her paddle and fell onto the ground.
Whose point would that have been?
I’m well aware that the rules have changed a good bit over the years and the official rules don’t state specifically what would happen in this situation (It says that Player B receives the point if the ball strikes him/her without bouncing on his/her side of the table first, but says nothing about the paddle). I want to know the latest update of the rules concerning this rule.
**EDIT:
Player B strikes the ball behind the playing table and the ball merely bounces off and goes a short distance (not far and passing over the table)

Open Question: whats the best ping-pong racket?
Jun/100
I want a new ping-pong racket, but I don’t want to spend more than 50-70 dollars. I currently have a Stiga, and I’m really happy with it. However, I don’t know whether to stick with Stiga or to go with another brand. Which is the better brand for the money, Butterfly, Stiga, or Killerspin? Or are there other good ones I should consider? Here are the ones I’m torn between (Stiga Supreme and Butterfly Senshu):
