So many paddles to choose from! 18 years 9 months ago #7606

I've recently been looking at all different paddles and i can't decide. i've narrowed it down to 3 paddles, any feedback on the carbon werner side kick, at4 play, or the new H2O-2 would be greatly appreciated. i'm just looking for a super strong paddle with good performance while playing. thanks.

i would prob look at the glass sidekick or player as its cheaper and similar strength to the carbon but easier to see if you manage to drop it!

crank shafts are weaker due to the curves in them but are nicer to use try them all out as they have different types of cranks and make your mind up! I have used at2 +4 , and a few werner cranks and robsons and i like them all with no real preference but some peeps cant get on with some sticks!

thanx for the advice. so the carbon fiber isnt worth the extra money? ...i deffinately want to get a crank shaft cuz i have used a riot crank and it was really comfortable, i just dont want a riot paddle, cuz i have heard bad things about riots quality control. i currently have a fiberglass werener paddle and love it except for the fact that both blades cracked in the same place. its an older paddle though, so hopefully werner fiberglass has gotten better. ...i have read great reviews about the H2O-2 can anyone give some input on these paddles? anyone had personal experience with one? thanx everyone for your input.

thanx, those rough stuff paddles look prety nice. they sound prety strong too, but im prolly gonna stick with either the werener sidekick or the H2O-2 just because im located in the US and it will prolly b a lot easier for me to get my hands on one of those and demo one.



...anyone have personal experience with the H2O-2?

I personally prefer the carbon shafted cranks from werner the crank is more prenounced they are lighter or you could ask for carbon shaft glass blades or get full carbon very nice indeed! they may be able to use the silver pregnated carbon that they use on dd then you get a sexy paddle thats easy to see if you drop it!

I think they both are great i love my werner because its durable as all hell, and havent tried any H20 paddles but they look sweet and have that cool grip. my last paddle was a riot ,both blades cracked and one blade snapped right in the middle. :mad:
