Flared handles
We currently have 4 concave handle shapes in our range. You can combine them all freely until the grip fits your hand perfectly.
Each of these shapes is available in two lengths and two thicknesses, so you can customize your grip down to the last detail.
flared
SHAPE K1
K1 is a very classic, flared handle shape that is nicely rounded on both sides and combines well with all other shapes. This shape comes closest to the usual standard handles and is used on all BASIC blades.
Structure
- symmetrical handle shape, rounded on both sides
- Completely free of interfering edges
PROPERTIES
- sits firmly and securely in the hand
- Supports every type of racket position
- prevents the racket from slipping out of the hand
CONFIGURATION
- Can be used on both sides
- Can be combined well with all other flared shapes
- when used on forehand and backhand at the same time, you get a beautifully rounded grip
flared
FORM K2
K2 is an asymmetrical handle shape with ball grinding. The grip tapers flat towards the bottom left. This results in a large and beautifully smooth contact surface for the heel of the hand. There are no irritating edges and therefore no more pressure points. Due to the ball of the thumb cut, K2 is particularly suitable for use on the backhand. However, if you need more space for your fingers, you can also use K2 very well on the forehand. When used on the forehand and backhand at the same time, you get a propeller – a very popular grip combination.
Structure
- Asymmetrical handle scales with ball grinding
- tapers gently to the left at the lower end
- Completely free of interfering edges
PROPERTIES
- sits firmly and securely in the hand
- Supports every type of racket position
- Pressure points and blistering are avoided
- Well suited for fast turning
CONFIGURATION
- K2 is very popular on the backhand
- If you need a lot of space for your fingers on the forehand, you can use K2 well on the VH
- K2 on forehand and backhand becomes a popular ‘propeller’ (see rear view below)
- good combination options are K1 + K2 and K3 + K2
- also available as a left-handed handle – in this case the ball grinding runs exactly mirror-inverted from top left to bottom right.
flared
SHAPE K3
K3 is a symmetrical grip with a hollow grind. In the side view, you can see that there is a very slight indentation in the centre of the grip. This hollow provides extra space for the fingers and ensures a firm and secure grip. As this shape has been optimised for the forehand, we do not recommend using it on the backhand.
Structure
- Symmetrical handle with hollow grind
- Slight indentation in the center of the handle
- Completely free of interfering edges
PROPERTIES
- the fingers are embedded in a hollow
- Extra space for the fingers
- sits firmly and securely in the hand
- Supports every type of racket position
CONFIGURATION
- K3 should only be used on the forehand
- K3 on the forehand in combination with K4 on the backhand results in a particularly ergonomic grip that adapts ideally to the whole hand.
flared
SHAPE K4
K4 is a symmetrical handle shape with a pronounced round cut. The strong rounding fills the entire palm of the hand well and thus ensures a secure grip. In combination with K3 on the forehand, you get a wonderfully ergonomic grip that adapts well to the whole hand. If you use K4 on the forehand and backhand at the same time, you get a particularly strong and round grip.
Structure
- Symmetrical handle shell with pronounced curves on both sides
- Completely free of interfering edges
PROPERTIES
- Rounded shape adapts very well to the palm of the hand
- well suited for players who prefer a strong, round grip
- sits firmly and securely in the hand
- Supports every type of racket position
CONFIGURATION
- Can be used on both sides
- K4 on forehand and backhand at the same time results in a beautifully round and powerful grip
- K4 on the backhand in combination with K3 on the forehand results in a particularly ergonomic grip that adapts ideally to the entire hand.
