how big is your racket? <survey>

[Velvil]

for the same reasons as before, what are the dimensions of your paddle? length/width/handle width
*If flared/anatomic handle, please measure the widest part of the handle.

mine is 25.7 cm/15cm/3.5cm

thanks a lot in advance!

25.7cm = 257mm
15cm = 150mm

Standard size for an offensive TT blade face is:

57mm x 50mm

Are you sure your blade face is 3x the size of a normal racket? What rubbers fit on it?

3.5cm = 35mm

Is that the thickness? Normal thickness for an offensive racket is in the range of:

5mm to 7mm

Some 1 ply blades are 9mm to 11mm. 35mm would be 6 to 7 times thicker than a normal TT blade. 3.5 times thicker than a racket that is pretty thick.

Or is 3.5cm the handle length? In which case you left out the thickness.

Can you show us photos of that racket next to a normal racket?

I have a feeling your measurements are off if they are not you joking around.

Edit: I can see my brain was not fully working when I wrote this and wrote 57x50.

Standard Head size is 157x150mm, not 57x50...
since his blade is 257x150mm, ist means that he has standard Head size (157x150mm) + 100 mm for handle, which is also usual...
35mm thickness is the thickness of handle...

What is that? A baby ogre's racket?

Or you have a kitchen chopping board.

This is interesting that you knew what he meant with those dimensions. Thanks. Now that I read what he is asking for, it is clear you are right. But that is not how you would list racket dimensions normally.

That is not how anyone would describe dimensions of a blade that I have heard. But....Now those dimensions seem not quite so crazy. I guess I should have read more carefully. And still, my brain dropped the 1 in 157.

And I guess he wants the dimensions he is asking for for making racket cases. Stating that he was looking for total length from base of handle to top of blade face, and thickness of handle for making racket cases would have made it a little more easy to follow what he wanted.

Like, how Creek has stated:

* 157mm for blade face
* + 100mm for handle
* = 257mm (2.57cm) total length from base of handle to top of blade face

would make this much clearer to us TT geeks who have been listing size of blade face as 157x150mm for decades.

It can still be bigger:

why do all men want to know who's got the biggest one ?
