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.

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.
