There really is nothing quite like a good bit of wood in your hands......I don’t like it really, i prefer original design of a handles, and a wood feeling in hand - over the taping story
Why do we EJIng sometimes? For curiosity, new design and that special after hitting feeling that blades provides.There really is nothing quite like a good bit of wood in your hands......
Immaturity aside, it's a personal preference.
I personally dislike it - It gives a very muted feeling when playing, and I find the disadvantages (lack of feel, weight distribution), outweigh any potential advantages (grip, possibly a more comfortable hold).
The good thing is, you can try it and remove it very easily if you don't like it - It's one of the cheaper experiments when it comes to TT!
lolllThere really is nothing quite like a good bit of wood in your hands......
interesting, have you considered directly buying a blade with a larger handle?I use grip tape but I only tape half the handle (the part closest to the blade). It gives me a bulkier handle close to the blade. If I tape the entire handle, I lose too much feeling...
I've noticed I do this with all blades I buy/try, no matter what handle shape/size. Just personal preference and what I'm used to I guess. I've tried removing it, but after a few sessions I put it back on again, because it feels more familiar and "safe".interesting, have you considered directly buying a blade with a larger handle?
is it not the part closest to the blade where we get most of the feeling ???I use grip tape but I only tape half the handle (the part closest to the blade). It gives me a bulkier handle close to the blade. If I tape the entire handle, I lose too much feeling...
Maybe so. I'm just sharing what worked for me...is it not the part closest to the blade where we get most of the feeling ???
there was no criticism just a questionMaybe so. I'm just sharing what worked for me...

A good compromise could always be to pull a condom over the handle, the ribbed version.I always thought the thumb and forefinger are providing the vast majority of the feeling of the blade. Those parts aren't covered by grip tape in any scenario.
I have grip tape on my Acoustic (partly because of size and partly because of sweat issues playing in hot and humid Vietnam).
I guess I might try going bare wood and rubber less (hehe) for a bit. I thought I needed more girth on the handle when I just started and was gripping too hard. But now I have a loose grip due to better technique.
