The handle on this penhold blade allows for CPen or JPen / Korean Penhold grips. I am tempted to try one.

It really isn't clear to me what the difference is, other than the shapes of the grips.. In the past I thought Japanese penhold meant holding the fingertips of the second, third and fourth fingers against the back of the blade, but this doesn't seem to be universally true.

Very weird name for a blade... should call it revoconfusion perhaps.

I have the following blade:

Hence my id name.

I am a very casual player who uses the penhold grip. A few years back I decided to start playing table tennis again and a friend gifted me a nice, but basic Chinese penhold blade. While playing I noticed that the blade was slipping from my grip, especially in the very humid summers.

So on a trip to Tokyo I picked up the blade linked above. I like it and find the nubs at the top useful to place my index finger and no more blade slip. How does this relate to the Revofusion. Since I am not interested in twiddling I cut off one of the nubs at the top basically creating a grip similar to the Revofusion. For a casual Chinese Penhold player I like this grip a lot more.

But of course, again I am a very casual player and I haven't played for awhile, but hope to practice once a week. So I pulled out the racket and checked out this forum again.
