What happens if a ping pong ball hits the very edge of a table and goes down? Is it the player who hit the balls point or the other?

When a ping pong ball hits the very edge of a table and goes down, it is considered a miss and the opposing player wins the point. According to the rules of table tennis, the ball must land on the playing surface of the table and not bounce off of the edge. If the ball touches the edge of the table, even slightly, it is considered a missed shot.

This rule is in place to ensure fair play and to prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage by intentionally hitting the ball off the edge of the table. It also helps to keep the game moving at a fast pace, as players are not able to slow down the game by intentionally hitting the ball off the edge.
