Can I still use this blade?

89012 · Feb 23, 2018

Hey,

I've got a stupid question but I'm unsteady

When I made off my rubbers, a very little piece of the wood veener broke up.
The Official ITTF Rules says: 2.04 The racket
2.04.01 The racket may be of any size, shape or weight but the blade shall be flat and rigid.
So my blade isn't flat, isn't it? Thanks for any answer, I hope I can still play with it. The blade is Yasaka Ma Lin Extra Offensiv.

Thanks for answers

Not a problem. You can play with small damage. It’s also repairable, using wood filler and sandpaper.

For sure. Looking the scale its no more than 1-2, or 3 mm max, so you can just neglect it, or use some wood glue or filler /I would prefer a glue as the pit is very small/ to prevent the top ply from future peeling.

I guess, also, this is why some people like me finish their blades. You could put a layer of sealant on the top plies of the blade and the edges to help prevent that from happening in the future.

However, if that chip is the result of you dinging the edge of your blade, and pulling the rubbers off only made you realize there was damage, then sealing the blade would not have changed that.

What kind of blade is it?
