Our experiences on table tennis head shape and head length correlations.

The regular theory on shape based on ~10yrs experience from world leading coaches/players:

• Oval (egg) shape head gives advantages for BH orientated players
• Round & angular rackets afford advantages for FH orientated players.

About head physics of size (supposed only the size altering eg. Virtuoso S, M, L):

The longer head results bigger amplitude and shorter (higher) frequency and due to the longer head you have bit more head balanced that provide more BH dynamism orientated racket that fits best for mid distance playing. The shorter head makes smaller amplitude and longer (lower) frequency behavior of the head. It suits for FH orientated players a bit closer the table playing.

With heavier rubbers that would work better on S or M Virtuoso due to

• the shorter head that saves weight
• fits better for close to the table chinese style
• let you work better the right counter based strokes starts from up (when you play that style you keep your racket open end up)

L Virtuoso is not your racket if you could not enjoy distance play because of the tacky surface that grabs the ball so you lose power at all through your rubber. During distance play with chinese rubbers you need angle that differs from close game and need huge movements. We think that for those who play not close to the table game with chinese needs rather Ultimate. We branched out S, M, L versions for Virtuoso family to make better chance for you to find proper racket provides the Virtuoso feeling.
