👩 Why many women play better with ERGOPONG

The ergonomic handle geometry distributes pressure evenly across the palm, reducing strain on the thumb and wrist. This allows for greater comfort, less fatigue, and improved placement.

🔬 How the ERGO handle works biomechanically

The handle’s natural curve guides the hand into a stable position, promoting smoother motion, better energy transfer, and less joint stress – especially when blocking and placing balls.

🎓 Is the grip “too different” for my technique?

A common question – especially from defensive players. Our answer:
It’s not too different – it’s simply better.

The handle promotes a clean, natural grip, helps prevent common posture issues, and supports technical consistency. Even experienced players adapt quickly – and gain long-term benefits from less grip correction, more control, and greater match rhythm.
