Approx 7mm from the handle , l discovered this by accident when l made my bat 10 gms lighter, great if your bat is too heavy with harder rubbers mine was 196 gms the bat is still the same size ! the beautiful space fits your 2nd finger in the pendulum grip and the 2nd finger grips and flips up against the chamfer edge of the handle ,it also great improves under and side serves . pros like ma long use the 2nd finger to pull the on the handle side middle when serving ,but not on topspin serves , and the this position is not as good. l also made the bat smaller another 6 gms lost. this helps in fast transitions fore to backhand close in ..if you like the weight of yours you can cut a little circle out where the the name of the rubber is on the backhand only ...even better since you the finger uses the side of the rubber also . l doubt if anyone would like to deface the rubbers name !! esp on tenergy.. l would if l liked my weight .. cos the serve is so much more wonderful !!
