Smoothing the edges of the Racket
Rules
Bennett Brown Asked 9 years ago
Since it is more aerodynamic for something to have a smoothed edge instead of a flat edge like a square:

Is it allowed for a racket to be smoothed a bit near the edges for people who use their loop a lot.
If it is allowed, do you think it is worth it?

Hi Bennett,
I don’t think it would be allowed. The rules about the racket says that the surface has to be flat.
The rule is:
| 2.04.01 | The racket may be of any size, shape or weight but the blade shall be flat and rigid. |
