what is your favorite handle

Paris2024 · Jan 18, 2022

As far as I know, there are 6 types of table tennis handles. Is there any advantage of changing the handle?
I prefer the Flared handle, Legend type of Stiga.

Flared
Chinese penhold
UTCAN
Korean Penhold
ELCON
Round Straight

This shape, which I'd prefer to call tapered over elcon; nothing else gives me that immediate feel of oneness.

Most flared handles are too thin near the neck of blade. I prefer Straight handle and I use overgrip tape in case the handle is too thin (most handles are too thin for a typical european palm)

T-shaped hollow handle to empower your every stroke. Happy invention of Russian origin.

Flared but with ‘Dotec’ wings.

Round straight so comfortable

If you ever try round straight with the Dotec type wings you’ll truly know comfort!!!😀

I think that more important than shape are the dimensions of the handle. I have 3 blades that I can't play with because I end up with wrist pain after the session.
Two are flared one is a fat handle ST.
The most comfortable handles I've had were made of cork. I think that they moulded to my hand shape over time. But they looked horrible after a few months due to the grime from sweat.

ST for me. I've tried FL and CON but never got comfortable with either.

Flared all the way. I wrap it with badminton grip for that extra bulky feeling. I feel more confidence when holding a big stick.

as a penholder the japanese penhold is the most comfortable for me, your fingers practically never slip holding it

chinese penhold is really annoying if you sweat a lot

I have Butterfly Viscaria FL - very comfortable and elastic, as well as a small size of the handle - only 100x25x34 mm ensures its convenient location in the hand.
I had a Donic Waldner 700 before and it's less comfortable
