Can we change bat during a match
Rules
Hin Cheang Asked 8 years ago
For Example, if I have 2 bats, one for offensive play and one for defensive play. Suppose I was using the offensive bat during the first set and then wanted to use the defensive bat for the second set, is it legal to do so?
I know it is better to only focus on one playstyle, and I am not planning to do the above, but just curious if that's allowed in terms of the rule.
Thanks

Hi Hin,
You are only allowed to change a bat during a match if you damage it accidentally. Otherwise you need to stay with the same bat.
