I think there is a fine line where the Law of table tennis is not clear.
Is this considered 2 blades or one?

Should be illegal to consume certain mushrooms grown in California, you know, the hallucinogenic ones.

Hahaha. And you may need to be eating those hallucinogenic mushrooms to play with one of those hand inside "rackets". When I hit with one I thought it was really terrible. Not fun to hit with at all.

An American saying. I think who decided to market that thing was a little juiced up at the time.

lol

Well, I believe it will play horrible.
No idea how one can feel the ball with the palm and back of hand etc.

Btw i'm more interested in the law of table tennis and from what I read, there is a very thin line.
I don't think there is a problem with the blade surface, but more likely the 2 surface area is very different to any other grips

Will some umpires say this is 2 blades?

Yeah, no doubt this is not a nice blade.
But my question to those knowledgable people on ITTF Law of Table Tennis is, in your opnion (and understanding of the law) is this a legal blade?

You do realize that frames and rubbers need the ITTF stamp to be legal and have to be on the list that umpires can check before/during matches? I highly doubt these are on the list or have the ITTF approval stamp

Rubber yes,
Frame - no idea what that is, if you are refering to blades - no, it doesn't need ITTF stamp.

There is a law on the construction of the blade, and based on this wierd balde, it may fit the requirements.
PS there is no approved blades list, but umpires are able to send blade in doubts in for testing to see if it meets the requirements.

Is there no IU here we can add some opnions?
