My Experience
Posted by: Kudzu on Dec-03-12 4:57 PM (EST)

I have to agree with above advice. The loom and shoulder are what matters when it comes to hand size; not the paddle width. I also have found that narrow blades want to flutter more on those first couple of strokes compared to the wider blade.
