The old question: players with pips are disappearing! But why a style is so deserted? He Zhi Wen is still hard to be defeated!!

There are actually still some players using pips. For example Ai Fukuhara (Japan).

Good to meet you too Prateek. I play with the J-Pen grip. I guess you all play with Chinese penhold ? I had heard about KK Rai and Thomas Lee from Manideep Sen, If you are in veterans team you may have heard about him. Is KK Rai Based in Pune ? How is he as a penhold coach ?

Comment by prateek deo gupta on February 20, 2013 at 12:37am

Good to see there are still some pen holders here. I am a J-pen holder (Yasaka Musashi; F: Yasaka V-Stage, B: Yasaka Fusion). This is my main bat. I have also got a C-pen recently as a back up (Stiga Maplewood; F: Donic Baracuda, B: Donic Baracuda Big Slam) but haven't managed to get use to the grip...

What are you guys' set-up?

Blade : Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon FH : DHS Neo TG 3 BH : Bryce Speed

my blade graduation was from : Stiga offensive classic ( shakehand grip) - Stiga WRB offensive classic ( C- Pen) - Donic Persson power V1 ( c pen) - Yasaka Ma Lin Carbon ( C pen)
