Hi, coach!

Sorry for such weird question.

Is it possible to play by penhold blade using shakehand grip? If I use grip tape.

I am asking it because stiga stopped producing my favorite shakehand blade stiga CC7, but they still produce CC7 penhold blades.

Hi Ardak,

I think it is difficult to use a Penhold blade for shake hand because the handle is shorter and will not fit well into your hand.

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 coach! 

Can it be reconstructed, remodeled into shskehand blade, if I give it to wood master? Will its balance and characteristics be damaged? Or its not worth to do it?

Hi Ardak,

That is possible to do if you know someone that has some woodworking skills. It won’t upset the balance and would be a good solution.
