Penhold Bat

Collen Irwin Asked 13 years ago

Hello Alois. 

I'm thinking about investing in my first non-premade bat. I've done some looking around, but reviews on Japanese penhold bats are quite scarce. I'm not sure if you've got much information about them, but any help would be appreciated. I have an offensive play style. My focus is mainly on loops, and my defense is most often just blocking. I'm not sure if I should get a soft or hard bat, or if I should get soft or hard rubber. Sorry for asking such a long and complicated question.

Thanks

Hi Colleen,

I don't have much specific information about a bat but I would suggest you get a softer wood with more control. The type of rubber is a matter of preference.  I personally like softer rubber but see what feels right for you.

I hope others will be able to give you specific advice about an actual name of a bat to try.
