Handles

Handles listed for this SKU: Flared (FL), Straight (ST), Anatomic (AN). Handle shape does not change the ply recipe, weight class or Combined index.

Flared (FL)
Straight (ST)
Anatomic (AN)

Flared (FL): The usual European shakehand handle. The flare fills the palm and locks the blade in; it does not change the ply recipe.
Straight (ST): A straight handle is easier to rotate in the hand — the usual pick for combination rackets and some two-wing loopers who change grip mid-rally.
Anatomic (AN): An anatomic handle follows the palm. Same wood as FL/ST on the same SKU; pick it if that shape already fits.
