Flared Handle

Advantage: Offer a more secure grip because of the design of the handle that widens towards the bottom.

Disadvantage: Its harder to switch grip from forehand to backhand or vice versa if you are a type of player that switches grip

 

Straight Handle

Advantage: Its easier to switch grip from forehand to backhand 

Disadvantage: Handle tends to slip easier than the flare handle.
