Title: Robson Combat Paddles
Post by: Niall Finch on March 29, 2012, 12:19:40

Hi,
Am wondering if anybody has any experience with Robson Combat Paddles ? Am looking at a set on Irish white water.
Eoghan Do you use Robson ?

Yeah I've Robsons and love them...only problem I have is that their a bit short! Roger made the same mistake with his.

But definitely try out lots of paddles before you buy - lots of peeps here will have you think werners are the be all and end all!  :) i didn't really like them but liked Mark (which are now Maries) and Fuzzys paddles.

The three of us have/had Robson studs! Roger has Robson Greens.

I remember looking at the combats but can't remember why i didn't get them...

Try out loads of different paddles this Saturday and see what feels right for you.

And don't let Eoghan's abnormal bias put you off, Werners are the biz!

"comst" in that ad could mean "composite" instead of "combat".

Or it coulb mean "compost"
