Hello,
I want to ask you that I am a penholder and I want to know that what is the difference between Penhold and shakehand rackets.
Thank you.

Hi Nikhil,
The main difference is the handle. The Chinese style penhold rackets have a short handle. Most of the rest of the bat's features are the same as a shakehand racket.
The Japanese penhold rackets have a built up handle on one side and they tend to be a rectangular shape. This does not effect the performance of the bat but more on the comfort of holding it.

Im a penholder too,what i did is i took the normal racket,held it and looked for the perfect length,then i marked it and chopped it off using a normal saw,after that,i used sandpaper to smooth it out and make the handle smoother and more comfortable hope this helps.
