The written material on paddle shafts seems to indicate that a fg shaft will be kinder to joints but I have been unable to detect much difference in my 2 glass and one graphite shaft. I have met a few racers who train with glass to "protect joints" then race with carbon. There doesn't seem to be anything definitive. At the same time, water is a liquid, last time I looked and would probably have more give then either shaft material. cya *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Oct 05 1998 - 08:33:44 PDT
