Hi Dennis,

You are only allowed to change bats during a match if you break it accidentally.  Here is an extract from the ITTF regulations.

 3.04.02.02  A racket shall not be replaced during an individual match unless it is accidentally damaged so badly that it cannot be used; if this happens the damaged racket shall be replaced immediately by another which the player has brought with him to the playing area or one which is handed to him in the playing area.
