What kind of grip is a Chinese-style penhold?\u003c\/dt\u003e\u003cdd\u003eA. It's a blade with a short grip similar in shape to a shakehand grip, held the way you'd hold a pen. Rubber is applied to both sides, suiting a style of play that uses both faces of the blade.\u003c\/dd\u003e\u003cdt\u003eQ. What are reaction property and vibration property?\u003c\/dt\u003e\u003cdd\u003eA. Reaction property is a guide to how much bounce the blade has. Vibration property is a measure of vibration frequency — the higher the number, the firmer the feel and the less vibration transmitted to the hand. This blade is on the low side for both, among the Chinese-style penhold blades we carry.\u003c\/dd\u003e\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore you buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul class=\"kidspo-notes\"\u003e\u003cli\u003eThis item is ordered from our supplier after you place your order, then shipped from Japan.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIf it is out of stock at the manufacturer or supplier, delivery may take longer.
