If you like dihedral paddles, paddle this one and you will buy it. Price is great, indexing is effective put not as large as Lightning or Camano. I used the T2 style. I think the blade design is by far better than the Camano, the dihedral is slight, so efficiency is good, but the balance of forces between the upper and lower blades is truly extraordinary. Try and make it flutter! The shaft is longitudinally wrapped, so it is not smooth, and a little bit larger than Werner or Lightning. I will say that it is now my preference not to use a dihedral paddle (I am willing to sacrifice some forward efficiency for a better skulling for support stroke etc.) If you like dihedral paddles this is an absolute must! |
