They made a new 2 sided blade where your hand slots in between them. I am not happy.

No I haven't tried them. It just feels like an unnecessary change
I haven't tried these but I can't imagine they would be better than a traditional blade. Has anyone had any experience with them?

where can one see the new blades and where can one get one?

Hi Ppingskills,
Certainly more forward energy-speed can be imparted into ball, but less spin because there is no handle or rather it becomes difficult to rotate your whole wrist to play spin, but heavy backspin can be imparted on the ball.
Also short balls can be received a bit easily I guess because all we need to do is to bend our hand over the table and just throw the bat under the ball.Blocking shot would involve side-on action with this bat, and with handled bats it is a bit square on.
Not to forget that sticking the rubber also becomes easier, and bat becomes a bit lighter since handle part is not present.
Those blades actually may transform this game into boxing.

A set was given out as one of the prizes in a tournament a couple years ago, but I thought they were only a novelty gift...was I wrong???
