Hi Francisco,

If it is just a small break it will be fine. There is certainly no problem with this sort of thing for training. For competition a small break will be Ok. The rule says that

2.04.07.01

Slight deviations from continuity of surface or uniformity of colour due to accidental damage or wear may be allowed provided that they do not significantly change the characteristics of the surface.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

If it is small but in the middle of the racket it would not be allowed but you could still use it for training.
