Bad ideas with the rivets. You might be reducing your contact with the court and seemingly increasing your lack of friction HOWEVER you are also highly increasing the stress on your plates. You are reducing the contact zone and instead transferring all force of the impact to generalized regions. Sure the plate will come in contact a split second later but all of those drops will eventually stress the plates to point of cracking. Not a wise decision. You really gain nothing out of it......
