What handle length?

The handle length can vary and have different effects on the game.

Advantages of a longer handle length:

Better leverage: a longer handle length allows for more leverage on impact, which can lead to more power as the sweet spot also goes up.

More reach: With a longer handle, you can hold the club further back, giving you more reach to reach balls.

Two-handed shots: A longer handle makes it easier to play with both hands if you're using a two-handed backhand shot, for example.

Disadvantages of a longer handle length:

Less maneuverability: a longer handle can make the racket a bit top heavy and affect maneuverability. Fast stroke movements may be more difficult.

More difficult to control: A longer handle can make the racket feel a little more unwieldy, especially for players with smaller hands. Precise control of the racket may be more difficult.

It is important to note that the ideal grip length depends on individual preferences and playing styles. Players have different hand sizes, grip techniques and preferences. Some players prefer a longer grip length for more power, while others choose a shorter grip length for better maneuverability. It can be helpful to try out different grip lengths to find out which one suits your playing style best.
