Smoothing the edges of the Racket

Rules

Since it is more aerodynamic for something to have a smoothed edge instead of a flat edge like a square:

Is it allowed for a racket to be smoothed a bit near the edges for people who use their loop a lot.

If it is allowed, do you think it is worth it?

Hi Bennett,

I don’t think it would be allowed.  The rules about the racket says that the surface has to be flat.

The rule is:

2.04.01  The racket may be of any size, shape or weight but the blade shall be flat and rigid.

Touching the Table

Are you allowed to touch the table during play? The only thing that isn't allowed to touch the table is your free hand. You leg, elbow, playing hand, and even your bat are allowed to. You are not allowed to move the table however.
