Hi PingSkills,

According to your 'Essential Table Tennis Rules' video, you said that we could use any size of bat we wanted. But what is the Umpire measuring before the game starts?

Hi Stefan,

You can use a bat of any size.  What the umpire is measuring is the thickness of the rubber.  This has to be less than 4mm in total on each side.

Maximum is usually about 2.2mm of sponge.  It will be close to 4mm in total with the rubber.

How about the thickness of the blade? Is there any rule for it? Can I make my own blade?
