Straight handle shapes
What handle shapes are available?
We currently have 7 straight handle shapes in our range. You can combine them freely until the grip fits your hand perfectly.
STRAIGHT
FORM G1
G1 is a very classic, straight handle shape that is nicely rounded on both sides and can be easily combined with all other shapes. This shape comes closest to the usual standard handles and is used in the BASIC version of our woods.

- Completely free of interfering edges
PROPERTIES

- Supports every type of racket position
- Very well suited for flexible wrist use and for quick changeover from forehand to backhand grip
CONFIGURATION
- Can be used on both sides, can be combined well with all other straight shapes
STRAIGHT
FORM G2
G2 is an asymmetrical handle shape with thumb grind. The handle tapers off nicely flat towards the top right , so that the thumb does not have to rest on any annoying edges. This prevents unpleasant pressure points. G2 is ideal for quickly turning from forehand to backhand due to its rounding. We do not recommend using it on the backhand.

G3 is an asymmetrical handle scales with ball grinding. This shape tapers flat towards the bottom left, providing the palm of the hand with a nice smooth contact surface. There are no irritating edges and pressure points are avoided. The upper section of G3 is symmetrical and beautifully rounded. As this shape has been optimized for the ball of the hand, it is particularly suitable for the backhand.

G4 is an asymmetrical grip with thumb and ball grind. This shape tapers gently towards the top right, providing the thumb with a beautifully smooth contact surface without edges. It also tapers flat towards the bottom left, so that it rests perfectly on the heel of the hand without any pressure.
A particularly popular combination is G4 on the forehand with G3 on the backhand. This results in a wonderfully rounded handle that is perfect for turning.
