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.
