Talcum Powder on your racket

mahimn bhatt Asked 13 years ago

Can i put some talcum powder on my racquet?

Hi Mahimn,

There is no need for talcum powder. It will not help and it may make the bat have less friction.

Have you seen someone doing this?

I would say just use water and a cloth to remove it would be the best solution.

Arrived here after googling "table tennis talcum powder'.

Interesting, this has been a talking point recently at some Vic tournaments. Gives a nasty anti-spin which is terribly inconsistent. An absolute nightmare to play against and I'm fairly certain its Illegal.

Yes Trevor, it is illegal as well.
