I knew it was coming ...., a technical analysis of the paddle blade traveling
through water. I probably won't understand half of this but, by all means,
let's have it!





I can feel the tips of my Lightning paddles flex and recover if I pull very
hard. The trouble is, seems to me, the release of stored up energy comes at a
time when you least need it, i.e., at the end of the stroke. That's my highly
non-technical 2 cents worth.
