A Table Tennis bat requires one of the sides to have a red rubber and the other to have a black rubber. A player is not required to have the same rubber on either side of the bat such that each side of the bat reacts differently. One side may be a high spin rubber while the other acts as an anti-spin. By making each side of the bat a different colour lets an opponent know how the rubber will react when hit off it.

∙ 9y agoTable tennis bats are red and black so people can tell which rubber they hit it with. Advanced players play with different types of rubber on each side of their bat. Say,mine with a lot of spin and one without much. People used to have both rubbers the same colour and think there was heavy spin on the ball when their wasn't any. The spectators sometimes abused the players for missing easy shots, so the colours were changed in order for everyone to tell which rubber it bounced off.

What is the difference between the two sides of a ping pong patel?
The differences between the two sides of a ping pong "patel" as you refer to it ( in table tennis terms it is called a "racket") is that the same rubber can be used on both sides...or...two different types can be used. Some types of table tennis rubber are used for more spin while others are used for less spin. Either way, in official competition, one side must be red and the other side black. Red and black were chosen because they are more easily reckonized.
