Changing rackets during tournament
Rules
Phillip Simmons Asked 13 years ago
Coach, I know you can not change rackets during a MATCH, under normal conditions. But is it ok to change rackets during a TOURNAMENT, before the start of your next match? I read all the rules but did not any mention of this.

Hi Phil,
From a rules point of view, you can change rackets in a tournament. There is no rule banning that.
On a technical or tactical viewpoint though, I would only change if there was a real need. I think changing rackets during a tournament is difficult to adjust to. If it is just a matter of poor form, I would persevere with the same racket and try to change technique or mindset.

We look at the difficulties faced by a left handed receiver facing a right handers serve and also a right handed receiver facing a left handers serve. What rules protect the receiver?
