In addition, players must use a specialized paddle with short pips on both sides with sponge underneath each identical sheet (paddles provided at tournament).

USSTTA FLORIDA JULY SANDPAPER CHAMPIONSHIP JULY 15TH-6:00 p.m.
If you are tired of trick rubbers with excessive spin or reverse spin and short rallies that often result in boring no return serves, give Sandpaper a shot. The USSTTA sanctioned Sandpaper Event features the use of paddles with sandpaper on both sides. This eliminates the sticky spins and loops that shorten the rallies to an average of 3.8 passes over the net for each point. Yes, Sandpaper relies on more skill from the player rather than expensive trick rubbers. Each game is to 21 points and each match is the best 2 out of 3. Sandpaper paddles are provided at the tournament. Trophies are presented to the top 4 players. Enter for only $3 and have some great fun.
