Ive had a set of Robson Pogos for 2 and a half years now. Im really happy with em. Ive a 45 degree ish feather which is grand for rivers but not too good for balancing on the bow, jus gettin the hang of it wit mates' blades.
Try not to get a wider offset or your wrists will get at you, below 20 and you're headin for the angle many playboaters use.
The length will depend on a couple of factors, longer means you have more reach for boofin over stuff and have longer more powerful strokes. Shorter means you can make the transition from side to side quicker and build up speed with shorter faster strokes, more useful for playboating.
Cranked shafts is a possibility. Some people like em some dont. Im not too keen on em but i havent used em much.
A major influence is your personal build. Taller people with fairly broad shoulders use longer blades.
Blade size: tempests, kinetics, pogos, greens, werners.
I used a set of robson studs, slightly bigger blade, on the boyne with your gang a month r 2 ago and my wrists were sore after.
So u may want to avoid big ones like chillies, oracles, studs. (anyone want to start a debate on H2Os or Ty Warps? Colm will fix em quickly + efficiently but he gets a fair few of these jobs)
Material depends on how much u wanna spend carbon, glass r wotever i dont know much bout these. Carbons stronger rite?
Could someone explain this socket thingy?
