Wavex Handles - Do they work??
« on: October 21, 2009, 10:47:47 PM »

Right, a little question for our resident experts (probably aimed at Norb here!) - does the Wavex handle do what they say it does, or is this a bunch of crap from a less than reputable brand????? I just wonder whether the science behind it is scientific or make-believe. I have my own opinions on it but i would be interested to know if any people know anything about these handles.

Apparantly Kippax make for 5 international pro's at the moment   ::), they'd be lucky if 5 people even owned a kippax bat!

Sorry to disappoint here but I haven't got the foggest.  If it helps the design isn't something I would look at when doing handles

The ones I have seen have snapped very easily at the thin part of the wave.

That said one of Shah's bats I got hold of (originally Thorpes) had a very similar handle in.

It could have been generic Tom.

Who else produces wavey handles? I didn't say it was Kippax, just said it was similar. Haven't seen anyone else producing them though.

A friend has a great Kippax bat, but the Wavex handle snapped very quickly. He had it replaced with a Hunts handle which is far better.

I love them, the oval ones feel almost perfect for me.

How come you're not a fan of them? I suppose everyone's had bogey bats, I went through a phase of only buying planks.
