Nittaku Large Handle vs. Regular?

arg0 wrote: Violin Large size ST handle is about 28 x 23 mm, circumference is 87 mm. Violin regular ST handle is about 26.5 x 23 mm, circumference is 82 mm. Handle length is 100 mm and head size is 149 x 156 mm in both cases.

I've seen this info before, but it's hard to put it in perspective.

Just take any blade of yours with a small handle, measure it, then wrap it in something until you reach the dimensions I listed. If you're interested in FL handle, it's going to be trickier...

I actually disagree with the last comment.  I would have once agreed, but no longer.  I am about 185 cm tall, and my hands are proportional, and therefore I am taller than the average Asian table tennis player.  I don't think Nittaku and Butterfly handles are designed for people like me.  Consequently, I use grip wraps to make the handle larger.

You will get "used" to it but it doesn't mean it is optimal.  If your hands are large you need to have a handle that fits your hand.  This will make it a lot easier to make fast transitions from FH to BH without as large of a grip change.  The result is that you are not fumbling around, and you will be smooth.  You will never actually know how big of an impact it makes until you play with a handle that fits your hand properly. This is a big reason I think why Timo Boll, for example, clearly has a handle that has been modified to make it larger and asymmetric. 

However, the OP doesn't look like he has large hands.
