Can we change bat during a match

Rules

For Example, if I have 2 bats, one for offensive play and one for defensive play. Suppose I was using the offensive bat during the first set and then wanted to use the defensive bat for the second set, is it legal to do so?

I know it is better to only focus on one playstyle, and I am not planning to do the above, but just curious if that's allowed in terms of the rule.

Thanks

Hi Hin,

You are only allowed to change a bat during a match if you damage it accidentally.  Otherwise you need to stay with the same bat.
