Rules
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. |
When the ball hits the ceiling the point is over. You must hit the ball directly back onto the table otherwise you lose the point. In International tournaments the roof needs to be at least 5 metres above the playing surface but in local competitions you might often encounter much lower ceilings.
