Using Penhold blade for Shakehand

Equipment

Ardak . Asked 3 years ago

Hi, coach!

Sorry for such weird question.

Is it possible to play by penhold blade using shakehand grip? If I use grip tape.

I am asking it because stiga stopped producing my favorite shakehand blade stiga CC7, but they still produce CC7 penhold blades.

Hi Ardak,

I think it is difficult to use a Penhold blade for shake hand because the handle is shorter and will not fit well into your hand.

Choosing a Table Tennis Table

The thickness of a table tennis table is the most important aspect of a table to ensure you get a true consistent bounce. Other things to consider are the net, portability, and storage space.

Thank you coach!

Can it be reconstructed, remodeled into shskehand blade, if I give it to wood master? Will its balance and characteristics be damaged? Or its not worth to do it?

Hi Ardak,

That is possible to do if you know someone that has some woodworking skills. It won’t upset the balance and would be a good solution.
