I wonder Why nittaku make so small FL handle for Acoustic. Why don't they make bigger like butterfly FL handle. They make bigger ST handle but small FL handle. Although ST Handle is bigger, FL handle is more comfortable for looping (if it's big).

no other blade makers can match the "comfort" of Bty's FL. or An. as far as I'm concerned. The FL of either Acoustic or Violin is INDEED a bit on the slim side but I prefer Acoustic's 1 for some reason as it's a bit "rougher", still it's personal preference. If Nittaku could make an Anatomic for Acoustic, I'd be all over it.

Well i have to disagree about that fl handle of butterfly, to me stiga or DHS make them more comfortable, longer, as far as im concerned:)
I cant understand nittakus thinking when designing acoustics or violins fl, cos to me it seems more logic to make handle bigger so user can sand it down if its to big for him or her, but when the handle is small in the begining all you can do is wrap it with gripp, which i hate!:(

I disagree with Tiehwen also.  Korbel's FL sucks bigggg time!!!  AN and ST are comfy though.  I have to keep sounding in my head while playing with Korbel FL: "This is comfy, come on, this is comfy, come on, what do you expect, this is comfy, ooops, I didn't see the ball coming!!, well, this is comfy ....."

Well they are not that unconfortable actualy they are quite confortable for people with tighter gripp and a bit wing sanding but i like to hold my racket just a bit looser, not like Chila :)))) only half centimeter looser(somthin like WL:))) and there is where butterfly handles come short! Handle on my dipper is like 3-4 mm longer than Korbels!

Ok...ok...FL of Bty kinda sucks...I'd say still better than Nittaku's ones...Korbel's FL is in fact kinda too thin, right?
Keep ur comments coming as I'm not a Bty's FL man..But Xiom's FL is not bad.

that's what all the girls say...LOL

Seriously, I like the flared handle on my Bty PhalanxII.  Very comfortable.  But I have small hands.  I also like the handle of my flared T-2.  The flared handles of my Y-1 and K-4 are just a little larger than I like, but not uncomfortable.

Actually the FL of Acoustic is very comfortable, but for Kids :P
Maybe Malong has small hands, or he customize bigger handle?
maybe if they make the handle bigger, the balance of the blade is bad.
Heavy on the handle not balanced of heavy on the head.
I really want to order big FL handle if Nittaku able to make custom blades like butterfly does.
It's a good idea if Nittaku makes AN handle, surely it's a good try.

Yeah, If they listened our complain I think they would make bigger handle. I'll take AN and Bigger FL together.
