Why can't one generate spin and speed with the ARB paddle? I see is as being yet another paddle like c-pen or shake hands.
Prove to me you can generate more spin with your current paddle more than the ARB paddle. Prove to me you can generate more speed. It really is just a matter of what kind of paddle you are familiar. People play with shake hands paddle and c-pen paddles interchangeably. I have seen it. It does not make much difference to their style of play because that is more of a mental thing. It doesn't change their foot work or the ability to chose the right stroke at the right time.
I don't believe there is anything the ARB blade does to improve response or any other claims. It is just another paddle, no more no less. What is so wrong about the ARB paddle? Explain in terms of generating less spin or less speed.
the future is obviously here, a lot of control for the ball who stays a long time in the racket

It removes all shortcomings of other grips.
I know, I am a genius inventor but I prefer no statue.

This is the ARB equivalent for the chopper , you can't cut your opponents throat if you lose , which you can do with ARB .
@ Pnachtwey: do you see? The purpose of Anthony R Brown's (aka Damion's) posts is to try and rile people up. Entertaining and funny for a while. But at a certain point it gets old and tiresome.
In fact, Pnachtwey, it seems you are arguing his case much more effectively than it seems he is capable of doing.

Oh for Jeebus' sake, what tough question did you want asked that wasn't? The only important one was, "show us a video of the thing being used". No other question matters. And it was the first one asked and it has been asked repeatedly on three different forums. However, it is painfully obvious ARB or Damion or whatever this troll calls himself has no intention of responding to it, or actually having a meaningful interaction with players. What he gets out of this can only be known by his diseased mind.
I am personally about 99% certain that this blade is a terrible idea for a bunch of reasons not worth going into, but that leaves the 1% of doubt. That is space where I could be convinced by, you know, actually seeing how it is some sort of genius idea.
The guy has been banned deservedly. Piling on came later. Sometimes piling on is deserved. At a point the pile gets high enough and starts to smell.
IMHO, this thread has no reason to exist any longer.

ARB doesn't bother me. By now you guys should know I am a sceptic and won't believe anything ARB says without proof just like I am critical of TT manufacture's lies about tensioned rubber. This thread could be short if people would just ask the tough question at the beginning instead of being critical without justification. Then there is the piling on effect by people that don't even know what questions to ask but are critical because other people are critical.
I said above, I have written a chess program and entered it into USCF tournaments so the chess part interests me. I also had a rating of 2057 which is just below master ( 2200 ) and I have the Chess program Hiarcs. I know what ARB is doing with his chess technique but it isn't original. I am still sceptical about ARB being able to beat those chess programs. ARB doesn't specify the time controls or level he set the chess computers too or even the CPU in the computers. Were those chess matches where ARB beat the computer played at a chess tournament? If the computer is allowed to search for an average of 3 minutes per move and ARB was playing against a fast computer then,crack pot or not, that is impressive.

As far as the ARB paddle generating more spin. I doubt it because my wrist will move or rotate only so fast. If I want more spin when serving I try to hit the ball near the tip of my paddle. The farther the contact point is from the axis of rotation for my wrist the faster the spin will be. It is simple. Now how does the ARB paddle make it possible to increase the distance between the contact point and the axis of rotation of my wrist? Inquiring minds want to know. Something that should be considered is that as paddle extends away from the wrists axis of rotation the moment of inertia around the axis of rotation will be higher. I don't think this is a big deal though. The ARB paddle is yet another paddle. I don't see any advantage yet and I know it will be more difficult to manufacture. i do think ARB has made claims he can't backup.
I don't understand how you are supposed to feel the ball with this grip. The touch will be horrible, whatever the blade is, because of this grip. Go for the pistol design is you want more leverage effect to generate more spin.

I really do like to see videos of people using the equipment they are pushing. As I said above I don't like the Dr N videos where they are just hitting balls back and forth.
The Der Materialspezialist video impresses me. See the equipment used under pressure.
These make me want to buy a sheet of Terminator.
I must be missing how you are supposed to handle your ARB grip then. Because from what I see, the ARB grip is even more restricting. And you are missing how the pistol design is supposed to be used, the "trapped finger" you are speeking about is in fact helping to achieve better wrist speed, yup you are supposed to use the trenght of the finger to achieve faster wrist speed.
You must understand that at very very very high level, the strenght of the finger is also used to achieve faster wrist speed, even with shakehand grip, the pistol grip makes it easier and more natural. And in fact, your ARB grip makes the strenght of the finger un-usable.
