Hi Adham

In tennis and in badminton it is technically possible, to make a racket with two different sides. But such tricks are not allowed there. Our close relatives hardbat players have this rule: "If two sides of the blade are playing surfaces, then it is prohibited to use different Racket Coverings on the playing surfaces". They must use identical racket covering on both sides.

Why is it possible in table tennis, to embarrass the opponent with two different racket coverings? To me, it is not less unfair, as "finger service" or "hidden service".

Do ITTF consider to change the rules in the direction, that only using the same rubber on both sides of the racket were allowed?
