Yunge Yu Asked 11 years ago

Is it legal to use homemade blades in tournaments?

Alois Rosario Answered 11 years ago

Hi Yunge,

You are allowed to use home made blades. There is no approval required for blades. The rule states that:

2.04.02

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.

Choosing a Table Tennis Bat

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.
