A basic 

table tennis paddle (also known as a "racket", club, or "bat") is used by table

tennis players. The table tennis paddle is usually made from laminated wood covered
with rubber on one or two sides depending on the player's grip. Unlike a conventional "racket",
it does not include strings strung across an open frame. The USA generally uses the term
"paddle" while Europeans and Asians use the term "bat" and the official ITTF term is "racket".
Rules & regulation about table tennis racket.
Table tennis regulations approved by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) allow
different surfaces on each side of the paddle for various amounts of spin (including nullifying it)
or speed. 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 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.
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 illegal 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.
