Does your paddle have a hollow handle?
If you’ve cracked open the handle of a blade and found that it was hollow or had a gap in it, please post a picture and add a description of the blade’s feeling (hard/soft, stiff/flexy, amount of vibration).
I’m very interested in seeing how many blades out there have hollow handles and how they relate to ball feel.
Some companies actively market it, like Stiga's WRB and Donic's Senso. But I was surprised when I saw the Nittaku Acoustic has a small cut-out as well.

This was inspired by the thread about manufacturers making more and more hollow handles as a marketing scheme. But maybe this isn’t a new thing? (Such as the Clipper non-WRB wood, which still has a small hollow section in it)
