Hi, I have been playing table tennis for a while now and I have been buying rackets that have been pre-made. I am now going to buy a Stiga Hybrid Wood and what type of handle that I want. It asks for either a Penhold or a Flared (Master) type handle. Obviously I cannot buy the Penhold blade because i am a shakehand player. Is Flared (Master) type blade the right one to choose?

Hi Kon,

It really is a matter of personal preference. Try holding the bat in your hand and see if it feels comfortable. Comfort is the most important thing to consider when choosing different types of handles.

What rubbers are you going to choose for your new Stiga Hybrid Wood blade?

It's pretty much obvious that the Flared(Master) version is for you since you are shakehand.

I am leaning towards Yasaka Mark V rubbers on both sides (2mm)

Hi Kon, Mark V is certainly a very good rubber. Cheers, Jeff.
