Wtaf ???? I think a video of this in action might be more instructive !
If you use Words like Wtaf I doubt if you can play or that any Blade would be good for you!
Actually, he might be able to play better than you realize. But if you post a video on a table tennis forum of a racket with a handle like that, and expect people to think it is a good idea without any footage of someone who can play using it, well...I guess you would call that person a salesman.
It would be fun to see footage of a real person playing with one of those things.

Yes, that is why I seem to feel, the way the handle is now, it is good.
I am sorry, but I don see too many top pros adopting this handle or too many top blades being made with it.
But a good player can play with anything. I have a friend who plays with a block of wood, a rock, a shoe, a cell phone, a lollipop, a rubber ball, and he can play pretty well with any of those things.

do not be so skeptic .... i see a big potentiality into this type of blade ... and i see a many variations of shots into this ..... Let be honest .... THIS IS THE FUTURE OF TABLE TENNIS !
The grip shown in the video looks like it would be fine for BH and not so good for FH and the stability of the blade face in play would be hard to keep steady for the precision of heavy spin. It also looks like that same thing would cause a loss of power in power shots. I am also not so sure the blade face, the shape of this model would be that good for feeling.
But it would be fun to see someone good using it.

Though some might be able able to master it , the physics of it does not seem optimal for all the different variety of motions in table tennis. Most motions in table tennis are hammer like or a reverse hammer like and hence needs a similar handle. The handle displayed here are mostly used where you want to push or pull things , for example a refrigerator door . Again I am just trying to visualize the different motions, the other thing that I can confidently say is that you will never be able to do a pendulum serve with this paddle, the only options are the hook serve and back hand serves, so the spin will be restricted to one side .
Cry your pardon ! I may still have been high on Ben Stokes when I wrote that. It's been a wtaf kind of day one way or another, all it needed was Chelsea to win to make things totally surreal. Oh wait.......
