I'm not asking you or anyone else to do that.  I said that all paddles
flutter to some extent and that moderate flutter is the norm.

I agree.  That's why I suggested that John try other paddles and attempt
to resolve the issue rather than stick with the paddle and change his
technique.  Once he identifies the problem, he can look to a solution.
