The Archer Grip

Hello! I watch this Indian guy teaching us tips. But one time, the video title has 'Archergrip'. What're your opinions on it? Is it good or bad? What're its advantages and disadvantages? Can it ever be a meta racket?

jeez this looks like AI created a TT blade...

 

[Snek]

Why is it angular? Gives me very cheap cybershape vibes. Looks like same idea as Nittaku Tenaly.

Yeah... What's ur opinion on it XD

I can't really see how it would work. A view from the side would probably help.

Looks like exaggerated Tenaly grip but with more bizarre Cybershape face.

Seems like someone designed a blade to have as many angles as possible.

It does, and good luck trying to cut rubbers for that shape... the angles make it much harder and it's not going to fit on any other blade!

Can you explain your interest in strange blades that usually are not used by high level players except for entertainment?

That's exactly what it is. All the normal ones have been sucked dry because they are so famous. Why not mix things up a little? What's your opinion on the blade?

My opinion is, all you are looking at is blades where the angle of the handle is askew. It has nothing to do with the blade. And odd handle angles limit what you can do with a blade. For sure you can't twiddle. Take that blade and see what happens if you try to adjust the blade angle for a fade shot.

And again, an odd handle angle has nothing to do with the blade construction. So, all it has to do with is the angle of the handle.

With a regular handle, you can adjust the racket angle in many many ways. With a handle angle like that, you are very limited in how you can adjust the angle of the blade face while playing. It may give you a few good angles. But.....

Ohh ok.

I am not only looking at odd blades. I just do this for entertainment and for discussion of opinions.
