approved by the <a title="International Table Tennis Federation"href=/wiki/International_Table_Tennis_Federation> International Table Tennis Federation </a> (ITTF) allow different surfaces on each side of the paddle for various amounts of spin (including nullifying it) or speed. <sup class=reference id=cite_ref-2> <a href=#cite_note-2> [2] </a> </sup> For example, a player may have a spin-heavy rubber on one side of his paddle, and no spin on the other side. The player can flip the racket in play for different types of returns. To help a player distinguish between different types of rubber used by his opponent, regulations specify that one side of a paddle must be red, blue, yellow, pink or green while the other must be black, allowing a player to see what side of a paddle hits the ball mid-play. The player has the right to inspect his opponent's racket before a match to see the type and color. Current rules state that, unless damaged in play, the paddle cannot be exchanged for another at any time during a match.<p>The rubber coating may be of pimpled rubber, with the pimples outward, or it may be composed of a sponge layer, covered by rubber that may have the pimples pointed inwards or outwards. Some paddles are not covered with rubber ("naked") to make it spin resistant. However, it is against the rules to use these types of racket in competition as they are not approved by the ITTF. Some types of rubbers are also not approved. Approved rubbers have the ITTF emblem on the base of the rubber. <sup class=reference id=cite_ref-ITTF-handbook_1-1> <a href=#cite_note-ITTF-handbook-1> [1] </a> </sup><h2><span class=mw-headline id=Assembly> Assembly </span> <span class=mw-editsection> <span class=mw-editsection-bracket> [ </span> <a title="Edit section: Assembly"href=/w/index.php?title=Table_tennis_racket&action=edit&section=2> edit </a> <span class=mw-editsection-bracket> ] </span> </span></h2><p>Players have many options and variations in rubber sheets on their racket. Although a racket may be purchased assembled with rubber by the manufacturer, most serious tournament players will use a custom racket. A player selects a blank blade (i.e., a racket without rubber) based on his or her playing style. The type of wood or synthetic layers used to make up the blade will determine the blade's speed. The different types of rubber sheets affect the level of spin, speed, and other specific playing characteristics. Racket construction and new rubber technology contribute significantly to the amount of deviation from the expected ball flight path. <sup class=reference id=cite_ref-3> <a href=#cite_note-3> [3] </a> </sup><h2><span class=mw-headline id=Glues_and_gluing> Glues and gluing </span> <span class=mw-editsection> <span class=mw-editsection-bracket> [ </span> <a title="Edit section: Glues and gluing"href=/w/index.php?title=Table_tennis_racket&action=edit&section=3> edit </a> <span class=mw-editsection-bracket> ] </span> </span></h2><p>Normally, a sheet of rubber is glued to a blade using various table tennis brand glues such as Butterfly, Donic, and DHS.
