Yes,
Custom made paddles are permissible as long as they meet the USSTTA requirements. The requirements are simple and straight-forward and can be found by clicking on "Sandpaper Rules" above and on "Approved Equipment" above.

Can one participate in competition with a homemade paddle as long as it meets all of the proper USSATT requirements?

Welcome To The United States Sandpaper Table Tennis Association
WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES SANDPAPER TABLE TENNIS ASSOCIATION!!!

The use of Sandpaper Racquets or paddles has a long history in the world of Table Tennis. With the advent of the newfangled rubbers with unnatural spins, the popularity of traditional surfaces on table tennis racquets dropped sharply.  Sandpaper paddles began to fade from use and then as an almost final blow, sandpaper was not approved as a sanctioned racquet surface for Table Tennis.

HOWEVER!!! Sandpaper Table Tennis Racquets did not go away!!! They are still here and used by thousands all around the world!!!


So, buckle up and get ready for the revival of the great classic style of play!!!
SANDPAPER TABLE TENNIS!!!
