C-pen handle shape

[Dominikk85]

Which handle shape for cpen do you prefer? There isn't much talk about penhold handle shapes other than cpen and jpen but I think there are different shapes for cpen too.

Some grips are more round,
Others are more square and others more flat and wide.

Are there advantages for each handle shape at penhold?

I found for me I prefer the round handles over the square ones but I also play rpb only on BH. Maybe for tpb that would be different.

Here are some examples what I mean

As a ex c-pen player/ i find flared better. Slightly more wrist flexibility and creativity in the game. I found out round is a bit better for RPB, just a slightly easier transition makes a world of difference.

For me the round shape is easier for rpb use since I can twist the bat so it is a little more open.

Same here - prefer round handles as a RPB only penholder, and leave a gap between rubber and handle.

I think the swedish made cpens (Yasaka, Donic, Stiga) tend to have the square handles that feel wider.

I tend to like square handles (especially Stiga) because they are simply bigger. I'd go for a big round handle if it existed.

Joola cpen handle is big.
The problem is, one handle shape cannot fit all hands.
I wish manufacturers sell cpen blades with different shapes.

I pasted wood edge banding on some thinner handles.
After some sanding, I got the comfortable shape that I want.

Exactly! They sell different shapes of handshake blades. Why not do the same with penhold?

I should credit Sanwei with their creativity in blade design, though. Have you guys seen the pincer blade? It's really comfortable for the penhold. I was lucky enough to get one before they stopped manufacturing them.
