H Sarvaksh,

This just protects the edge of the racket in case you hit it on the table during your strokes.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!

If for example you scrub the edge of the rubber against the table at the end of a push, the edge tape can also help preventing the rubber to be lifted of the blade. It covers the side of the blade, but also some of the rubber, holding the whole thing together.
