Can we use 100% carbon fiber made racket ? Is it allowed by ITTF? I read that some minimum wood layer is required.......

Hi Keval,

Here is the relevant section of the rules.

2.04.02  At least 85% of the blade by thickness shall be of natural wood; an adhesive layer within the blade may be reinforced with fibrous material such as carbon fibre, glass fibre or compressed paper, but shall not be thicker than 7.5% of the total thickness or 0.35mm, whichever is the smaller.

Doubles Serving Rules

In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.
