NaanAvana I already quoted from the document from ITTF that should have proved to you what the regulation is. Your argument about the meaning of "within" or other stuff doesn't matter. The relevant section is A. Qualitative Criteria and Paragraph 2. I already quoted it but you can click here and check it for yourself. To be honest, any further argument as to what the actual regulation is (regarding whether you can have a composite as the outer layer) will be interpreted as trolling. As of September 2019, such a blade would be illegal and would not be allowed if it was checked by a tournament official. Edited by Baal - 09/12/2019 at 4:44pm |

This is correct. That blade had a layer of silver-gray paint all over the blade surface that made it so you could not feel or see the underlying grain of the wood. (See my earlier post on Technical Leaflet T4 where they use that as a criterion). The blade is something of a collectors item now. As an aside, a clubmate of mine had one and it was really hard to get rubbers to stick to it. It still amazes me that a company like Butterfly would manufacture a blade like that with great fanfare (for one of their signature international players) and then come up with something illegal! This is what it looked like (it's the blade on the top left when you click the link below): Edited by Baal - 09/12/2019 at 4:51pm |
