I like that it's bigger than the player but not so big that it feels like I have to reallly force it through the water. I can't say anything about the crank shaft from personal experience but people I know who paddle it love it.

I actually wish I'd bought my cranks with those on them, instead of the better looking double diamonds which perform great but don't like getting battered against rocks!!

Thank you received: 8

before you buy an expensive new paddle , try this:

www.tenniswarehouse.com.au/access/Grips/pacific/softy.htm
(plenty of other sources on the net and in sport shops)

It's cheap and you'll be amazed how much grip you get and how much muscle power you'll save in your fingers.... make sure to put one strip of carpet take on the paddle lengthwise and then wind the tape over it at full stretch.

almost everybody that tries my paddle loves it...

If you're happy, you're successful.
