Traditional penhold racket rule
Equipment
Jasper Low Asked 3 years ago
Since traditional penhold players only have one rubber, what happens if they use the wooden side of the racket? And what happens to the ball if they happen to do that?

Hi Jasper,
If the back of the racket doesn't have rubber it is not allowed to be used for hitting the ball.
Here is the relevant rule:
-
2.4.3 A side of the blade used for striking the ball shall be covered with either ordinary pimpled rubber, with pimples outwards having a total thickness including adhesive of not more than 2.0mm, or sandwich rubber, with pimples inwards or outwards, having a total thickness including adhesive of not more than 4.0mm.

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!
