Rules

Are you, by ITTF or USATT rules, allowed to write on the handle of your racket.

Is there anything in the rules that do not allow a player to breathe more than 20 breaths a minute?

I guess, depending what you write with.

If it is something that is going to effect the sight of the ball, then that may be a problem.
Otherwise...no

ITTF rules and USATT rules concerning bats say ZERO about this.

There are no sanctioning process for blades (yet) (Bless above for that!)

Manufacturers write stuff on their blades ALL the time, often with a piece of plastic covering it.

heck, even one of my sponsored blades has a GEMSTONE embedded on the handle and it is good to go...

Heck, we are covering the blade with our hand see it isn't even seen to cause a "disturbance" "outside control of players" under general rules for a let or whatever.

What? Will three initials on the blade saying who it belongs to gunna intimidate Ur opponets?

Yeah !! I need to move to your region and play in Ur leagues.

Let's just use a little written comprehension and common sense and call it a day. That is all.

Haha,
I'm still thinking what I can do to my bat handle to make it illegal.

I am thinking if I can paint the handle colour to the colour of the ball, since I'm a penholder, my handle is shown more than the shakehander.
Maybe that may raise some eyebrows, and maybe win me some points too lol

I have read a rule that told that the 70 % of the racket if i remeber corrent got to be wood so if the racket has already some carbon and its really close on being 30% something else than wood and you add some paint it would be illegal. Of course it wouldnt be because there is no way to test it but just for the record it could be illegal.

well, my blade is close to 100% wood
no carbon in there, and only non wood is the Yasaka badge
