I'm not talking about how to hold the paddle, but the different types of handles there are.  The ones I have heard of are flared, straight, anatomic, and concave.  Can you please explain to me what each of these are what they are used for.  And if there are any other types that I am missing, can you include them too?

 Thanks,

Hi Chris,

These different handles are purely for comfort.  They are made to suit the feel of the player.  What you need to do is work out which of these feels comfortablein your hand.  It is no more technical than that.

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!
