Dear Sir

What is the max thickness allowed for a custom made blade?

And what is the rule as per ITTF?

Hi Rajeev,

There is no rule about the maximum thickness of a blade.  Here is the rule.

2.4 THE RACKET

2.4.1 The racket may be of any size, shape or weight but the blade shall be flat and rigid.

2.4.2 At least 85% of the blade by thickness shall be of natural wood; an adhesive layer within the blade may be reinforced with fibrous material such as carbon fibre, glass fibre or compressed paper, but shall not be thicker than 7.5% of the total thickness or 0.35mm, whichever is the smaller.
