Rubber colour rules
Equipment
Christopher Belcher Asked 11 years ago
I'm curious whether there is a rule that stipulates that every bat must have a red rubber on one side and a black rubber on the other. Can I have both sides red or black if I choose?

Hi Christopher,
You do need to have red and black. This came about after players were using inverted rubber on one side and anti spin or pimples on the other and had both black. This made it difficult for their opponent to tell which side they were hitting with.
The rule now states:
| 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. |

Tone is in Your Fingers
There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
