I'd hope experience would suggest changing gear rather than changing gear 
without the background to know what to change to. I like the advise I see 
here.

<<PPS - I do get my back up when misquoted.  A couple of times in this thread
folks have suggested I said that paddles shouldn't flutter.  In fact I have 
repeated
that all paddles flutter, but some are better than others.  I apologize if I 
have
offended anyone with the apparent sharpness of my responses. >>
I'd suspect everyone gets a bit head-up when pulled the wrong way. Technical 
discussions like this seem to generate the most hear just because those of 
you with "professional" experience seem to have the most invested in the 
exact words you post and the specific meaning you have for them. Me, I 
haven't any idea what lift or whatever forces you are talking about mean. I 
just know I need to reach a tad more and it stops annoying. 
    Thanks to all who attempt to enlighten folks like me.
