    Indeed. LD exposes a third of the wooden handle.

    In the sense that it's towel grip on wood, yeah. Classic LD grips had a lot of wood exposed though, while these days he uses basically the same grip as Taufik did (although afaik Taufik used an insanely thin grip, G6 handles and only towel on there).

    Insanely thin? Fernaldi has an overgrip on G6 bare wood, and that was like crack to my hand. Made my G5's look like Pringle tubes (and made me furious that we never see G6 over here).

    G6 ain't thin; G3,4,5 is thick!

    G6 is thin. I'm exasperated whenever I have to grip a G5....admittedly I have fairly big hands, but I also like my grip (comparatively) thin. G4 is perfect for me, just a layer of electric tape, athletic tape, then towel.

    The VT-1s and NR-20s are loaners for when new people visit the club and I let them try out badminton for the first time. They're free to buy the racquets if they like. :D

    Just a picture of all my gear I took for Reddit but as far as the racquets go from left to right:

    Voltric 70
    Carbonex 20 muscle power
    Nanospeed 8000
    Nanospeed 7000

    I don't use the nanospeeds though as I cant stand head light racquets anymore
