Your racket is not "illegal" . Just ITTF unapproved. That is all.
Only rackets that are "illegal" (under common law) are spein glued or boosted rackets.


If players refuse to play in practice that is crazy.

Even in ITTF tournaments, you should try to use your racket. If the umpires do not perform chemical inspection on all rackets for each match , the umpire has no ethical right to ban you .

If any player refuses to play you in practice you can ask them why they refuse since they have boosted their rubbers.
They will ALWAYS say "But I don't boost"
But do they have proof ? They don' t.


You just want to use a racket that is close to be the right racket for a level & playing field .
But they do not want that because they not only an to strip you of your fair racket but at the same time they want to use a boosted racket.
Talk about hypocrisy.
