    So we are out at the bar and played some air hockey for some reason. Anyway, I play pretty good and use the paddle to stomp on the puck at times to stop it and then line up a shot. My buddy was getting all pissed and was like "You can't do that!" I was like "WTF? Yeah I can."

    Ruling?

    So, could you use it to stop the puck up against a rail as long as you weren't lifting it then?

    According to the US Air Hockey Association's rules:

    http://www.airhockey.com/rules/rules.html

    8. The puck cannot be "topped" by lifting the mallet and placing it on the top of the puck. This cannot be done at any time whether before a serve or after a serve during play. Violation constitutes a foul. Using the mallet to bring an airborne puck to the table or opponent's goal is not a topping violation no matter which side or edge of the puck is contacted.
