Standard and Small Shaft Options
_x000D_One size does not fit all.
_x000D_In fact, we have designed a smaller shaft size to fit smaller, more petite hands. If your hands are larger than 7 inches from the base of you palm to your middle fingertip, the regular shaft should feel more comfortable. If your hands are smaller than 7 inches, the small shaft option may be a better fit. If your fingertips can touch the palm of your hand when holding the shaft of the paddle, the shaft may be too small. Always use a light grip of the shaft as this will reduce fatigue and blistering, increasing comfort and efficiency.
