This is probably the question I get asked more than any other. “Mr. Su, if the Pistol Racket is really that good, why don’t we see professional players using it?” It’s a fair question. And I’d like to answer it honestly. Professional Players Rarely Change Equipment One thing many people don’t realize is that elite

Whenever players first see the SANWEI Pistol Racket, they usually ask me the same question: “Mr. Su, the handle looks different. Will it take me a long time to adapt?” My answer is surprisingly simple. For most players, around six hours of focused practice is enough to feel comfortable with the Pistol Racket. Of course,

This is one of the questions I hear most often. “Mr. Su, who is the Pistol Racket really designed for? Is it mainly for beginners, or is it intended for high-level players?” My answer is simple: Both. The reason is that beginners and advanced players face different challenges—and the Pistol Racket was designed to help

This is one of the most honest questions players ask me before trying the SANWEI Pistol Racket. “Mr. Su, if I switch to the Pistol Racket, will it affect my backhand?

This is a question that many penhold enthusiasts ask me: “Mr. Su, Chinese Penhold has produced so many great champions. Why do fewer young players choose it today?” After spending more than 30 years designing penhold blades and talking to players around the world, I don’t think the answer is that Chinese Penhold is outdated.

Over the years, I have heard this question again and again: “Mr. Su, with so many young players choosing shakehand today, does Chinese Penhold still have a future?” My answer has never changed. Absolutely. Not only does it have a future, but I believe it still offers advantages that no other grip can completely replace.

Over the past two decades, modern penhold has changed dramatically. Today’s penhold players are no longer relying only on traditional forehand attacks and quick blocks. They are expected to loop with RPB, counterattack close to the table, transition smoothly between forehand and backhand, and stay consistent under pressure. As the technique has evolved, I have

This is a question I have heard more and more often in recent years: “Mr. Su, RPB has become such an important part of modern penhold play. Is there a grip design that is specifically made for RPB?” My answer is: Yes. This is exactly one of the ideas behind the Su Style Tiger Claw.
