When I lob and play strange shots in the game I seem to get better results. So what benefits do playing normal, mainstream shots have? Oliver</p> <h4>Question 2 - 3:29</h4> <p>In tennis you hear grunting all the time but I never hear it in table tennis, when playing my offensive forehands I feel the need to make a quiet grunt. Is this allowed in table tennis or would it count as distracting? Luke Styles</p> <h4>Question 3 - 5:36</h4> <p>If our bat touches the table while playing is it a foul?
