Hi Amekun,
Here is the rule relating to the blade. This will help you to make your decision on what to use. I think it can get complicated to make your own though. Give it a try and see how it goes.
| 2.04.01 | The racket may be of any size, shape or weight but the blade shall be flat and rigid. |
| 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. |
