hmmmm..... i've only ever tried double dutch paddles once!they have a thin shaft don't they

I use Double Dutch paddles & yep they do have a small shaft. I actually found switching to Werners recently gave me hidious blisters cause of the thicker shaft!!

I tried Robsons before & found them pretty heavy. Try out the Double Dutch ones though... 4 years on & mine are still going strong, well i replaced the shaft once after it cracked in France. But i find em good, nice & light  :)

cool thanks jody, I will...its just that my hands would be big as opposed to small!so i found them uncomfortable - but who ever was using them wasn't impressed with them so that probably tainted my opinion!

Ment to say i also have fairly big hands... well for a girl but i find them more comfortable.
But it's deffo all down to trying them out, if you didnt like em then thats that  :)

i've had robson greens also for about 4 years.   I do like the feel of them and I didn't find them too heavy or slippery.   Never had any hassle with them and they even found their way back into my hands after loosing them overnight a few times.
