Nittaku Legnos R-H Reversible Penhold Blade

A reversible penhold whose light weight and handling make it easier to try the flip technique.

The Legnos R-H is a reversible penhold racket (a penhold you re-grip to use the front and back faces separately). At around 65 g it is light, and built to make the re-gripping motion easier. It also suits the stage of learning techniques used in matches, such as blocks and pushes (returning the ball with backspin).
