I know, many of the books out there tell you to do so, but if you watch a really good paddler who uses a feathered paddle, you'll see that during a forwawrd stroke, the wrist is in a straight line with the fore-arm. Adjustments are made in the shoulder and elbow to properly orient the blade. >> Oh, Oh. You don't??? Now I'll have to print this and take the itty-bitty piece of paper on the water with me and see how I do it vs what you are suggesting. I'm 99.9% sure that I "rotate" my wrist. Does this increase the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome which, considering I'm a writer and at the PC almost all day, looks as if I'll be lucky to escape?
