Penhold Bat
Equipment
Collen Irwin Asked 12 years ago
Hello Alois.
I'm thinking about investing in my first non-premade bat. I've done some looking around, but reviews on Japanese penhold bats are quite scarce. I'm not sure if you've got much information about them, but any help would be appreciated. I have an offensive play style. My focus is mainly on loops, and my defense is most often just blocking. I'm not sure if I should get a soft or hard bat, or if I should get soft or hard rubber. Sorry for asking such a long and complicated question.
Thanks

Hi Colleen,
I don't have much specific information about a bat but I would suggest you get a softer wood with more control. The type of rubber is a matter of preference. I personally like softer rubber but see what feels right for you.
I hope others will be able to give you specific advice about an actual name of a bat to try.

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!

Thank you for your advice. I went with the Butterfly Hinoki Pen Winner II, and Gambler Wraith rubber. Can't wait to give it a try!
Excellent. Let us know how it goes for you.
