Penhold Blade Size vs Shakehand Blade Size

Kenneth Tham Asked 2 years ago

Dear Pingskills,

Is the size of a penhold blade and its equivalent shakehand blade the same size? I am comparing just the round part of the racket which is used to hit the ball. Thanks.

Hi Kenneth, 

The size of the rackets are reasonably similar.  Sometimes Penhold rackets are more square or rectangular shaped.  The overall surface area works out similar.
