What is the right size of the handle for my hands?
As far as Russian-grip fans are concerned, the inner diameter of the ring should equal to the width of your palm plus one or two centimeters (0.4" - 0.8"). In other words, you should be able to insert your hand into the ring, and a small gap should still remain. For most people, it means the diameter of the ring equal to about 8.5 cm (3.15"). It is better to have a bit larger ring than the ring that is too small for your hands.
