I believe so. I remember when these came out that was the general consensus. Rules regulating blades are pretty lenient. Rules on the striking surface are much more specific. The rubber used must be legal (ITTF stamped) ------------- Mizutani Jun ST Tenergy 64 Tenergy 64

is the racket flat and rigid? the individual surfaces might be flat and rigid. maybe it would be based on how you interpret 2.04.01. it doesn't say anything about 2 completely distinct surfaces (joined) :)

Well, I believe it is legal if you put ITTF stamped rubbers on it. But do you really want to play with it??... that contraption must weigh at least 300 grams. ------------- The Dark Side is: "Quicker, easier, more seductive" - Yoda |

I don't think it would be legal due to the following:

2.4 THE RACKET. 2.4.1 the racket may be of any size, shape or weight... Number of blades to be incorporated into a racket is not specified in the rules. The Brodman's does comply with 2.4.1 as required, according to their promo adverts. You can use it freely at any competitions. Good luck. |

whatever it be... it is very difficult to generate speed with.... i know cornelleiu used to show this paddle in a video. just try holding hte head of your paddle by your finger and pulm on one side and play with wide side.. you will reaslize how difficlut it is due to shorter torque arm. ------------- 729-F1||Rhyzm-P(FH)|| Rasant Grip orRhyzm-P max(BH) http://youtu.be/y9y9nE9g778" rel="nofollow - vid1 http://youtu.be/xqNy786yGOs" rel="nofollow - Vid 2 |

Although i give anyone credit for making and trying anything new like this. I wonder it would be anything more that a odd blade or style. I have made many types of blades and its hard to patent unless you have at least 10,000.00. so is it worth it? |

How many patents do you have? ------------- Butterfly MPS FH: Donic Acuda S1 BH: Palio CK531A OX |

I have made many prototype blades , that do what i want. I have talked to several lawyers who have told me a patent in the USA is 10,000. If outside the US its even more. also they told me companies will buy your paddle and copy it and dare you to sue them. They have more money. So the question is ....is it worth it?

If your idea is truly new, unique and has mass market appeal then it might be worth it. The problem is very difficult to invent something that has not been done before. If you get a firm prestigious enough, they will be able to get the patent - even if the idea is not novel. ------------- Butterfly MPS FH: Donic Acuda S1 BH: Palio CK531A OX |

Oh, the idea is new and unique and from all my research has not been done before. Well most ... if not all the table tennis makers are out of the country so that might be hard to do. But good idea none the less. Thanks
