Over a period of time, after switching too many times between flared and straight, I find both to have both goods and bad on my grip. And so happy now I finally found the grip that is truly a fit for me. My own grip handle, personally customized by myself.

It's in between the flared and straight, but much closer to straight. So each time I buy a blade, I tend to buy one with a straight handle, preferably with a thick one, and from there I do my woodworking wonder.

 Since it is an extension of your hand, might as well fit it accordingly that well suits your grip.. :)

There are the same blade as in your explanation - I remember Butterfly produced it - one side ST another one was FL. I tested once Legout model with that kind of handle, later this model was named W. Schlager OFF.

Some blades fall between where they taper out evenly but are still quite squared where others actually flare out at the bottom. Essentially it's a matter of personal comfort but flared handles are generally for more fixed grip players whereas straight handles allow some flexibility in grip changed between shots.

Oh wow! thanks for the info. I think that is how these manufacturers should do to some of their blade handles as each player has each own unique fit, and to many the grip is as important as the quality of their strokes. Unfortunately not too many players improves much because of not knowing the significance of it.

One type of a blade I know is Gambler Arylate Carbon ST.

I have a more general question, as I prefer ST (rather square) and AN to FL handles. Are ST handles generally more prone to cause head heaviness in blades? With nearly of the ST blades I have used or tried I did experience more head heaviness which I don´t like too much especially as I have had problems with tennis elbow. Another question if anyone has changed the handle shape and has reduced issues with tennis elbow, as I can imagine this could play a role.

I don't think tennis elbow may be connected to the shape of a handle
