Hi Alex,
Yes you are.
Below are the regulations for a racket. As long as you follow them you will be OK.
| The racket may be of any size, shape or weight but the blade shall be flat and rigid. |
| 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. |
