Currently, only one species, Trichoplax adhaerens, is acknowledged to belong to the Placozoa. The Italian Francesco Saverio Monticelli described another species in 1893, which he found in the waters around Naples, naming it Treptoplax reptans.
A standard mallet has a head length of 9 to 9.5, and this is recommended for beginners. Expert players may use longer head lengths up to 12, as this is thought to make aiming more accurate and makes it harder to accidentally twist the mallet during the stroke.
*****. Good question, Robert. For racquets with extra-large headsâlike the Asics 125, Gamma RZR Bubba, or Weed modelsâitâs important that players/stringers buy extra-long sets of string to compensate. A set of string, typically, will run about ~40 feet; for a jumbo stick, youâll want to find a set thatâs about ~45 feet.ENNIS.com gear editor Justin diFeliciantonio and his technical advisers answer your equipment questions each day.
