Traditional penhold racket rule
Equipment
Jasper Low Asked 2 years ago
Since traditional penhold players only have one rubber, what happens if they use the wooden side of the racket? And what happens to the ball if they happen to do that?

Hi Jasper,
If the back of the racket doesn't have rubber it is not allowed to be used for hitting the ball.
Here is the relevant rule:
-
2.4.3 A side of the blade used for striking the ball shall be covered with either ordinary pimpled rubber, with pimples outwards having a total thickness including adhesive of not more than 2.0mm, or sandwich rubber, with pimples inwards or outwards, having a total thickness including adhesive of not more than 4.0mm.

The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.
