Paddle flex
Posted by: JerrySmith on Dec-13-12 10:30 AM (EST)

Since it's pretty much a personal preference thing, I don't see any point in rating flex as a marketing tool. The degree of flex is easy to determine when you examine a paddle. Some like it stiff, some like flex.
Use whatever you prefer.
