The ideal bat for penholder
Equipment
Shamil Unknown Asked 17 years ago
I use the penhold grip and am wondering whether it's necessary to use a penholder bat.

Hi Shamil,
It isn't necesasary to use a penholder bat but it probably will feel more comfortable for you. There are two types of penhold handle, the Japanese type handle with a larger rectangular block on the handle and a rectangular shape head and the Chinese type handle which is more like the shakehand handle but shorter.
Try them out and see what feels more comfortable for you.

Make sure you buy a table tennis bat that is suitable for your level and allows you to develop your technique. For your first bat we recommend the PingSkills Rook, and when you upgrade to a custom bat we recommend the PingSkills Touch with Mark V or Rakza 7.

Hi Thomas,
You can stick with the shakehand bat if fit feels comfortable enough for you.
