Swift told me a 4-piece would cost $300, so I ended up getting a Mitchell.  I 
was able to get a blemished "seconds" for a good price.

I hate it.  I'm so used to my Swift graphite/carbon fiber (?) that this this 
thing felt sooo heavy and my arms were sore.

I think I should have re-spoken with Swift and asked if that was for the 
standard translucent paddle.

Seems to me that any manufacturer can convert any of their paddles to a four 
piece.  it's just a question of sawing off the blade and installing the 
push-button mechanism.
