Hi,

You can use a bat with rubber on only one side, but you are not allowed to hit the ball with the non rubber side of the bat.  The non covered side mustbe matt.  See th erule extract below.

2.04.06  The surface of the covering material on a side of the blade, or of a side of the blade if it is left uncovered, shall be matt, bright red on one side and black on the other.
