<p>A table tennis bat is formed with a thumb rest 20 projecting sideways from the handle, for accommodating a player's thumb 40 when the bat is gripped. The thumb rest has a U-shaped section (see figure 3), in which the interphalangeal joint of the thumb rests when the player grips the bat. A further section of the thumb rest can be provided to accommodate the end of the player's thumb, and a lip may be provided to prevent the player's thumb from sliding forwards. The thumb rest may be constructed so that it can twist relative to the handle of the bat, and means can be provided to urge the thumb rest towards its original position.</p> |
