How long should a tipper be?
A. Rule of thumb is about a hand span, but you really should experiment all the time. Tippers are also balanced to be top or bottom heavy, have different points of balance, various weights and a huge range of grip profiles. There is also a more complex level of considerations such as the attack shape of the tipper ends, however it is worth pointing out that really good players can play well with any tipper at all.
