Table Tennis Handles - Long and Short

Equipment

Pankaj Kheddoo Asked 13 years ago

Greetings coach,

I saw two types of racket and i want to know the difference and effect of using them.

One has a long hand grip and the other has a short hand grip.

Thank you.

Hi Pankaj,

Are you referring to the length of the handle on the bat? If so then the bat with a long handle is designed for shakehand players and the one with the short handle is designed for penhold players. You can see the difference in these two grips in our video called Get a Grip.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
