[Paddlewise] (PaddleWise) Bent-shaft paddles?

    I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with bent shaft paddles.
I'm new to paddling and I have a wrist injury that I don't want to aggravate.
In theory, they seem like a logical way to reduce strain on the wrists, but I
wonder if they work in practice.  Do they reduce the strain on your wrist?  If
so, does this paddle design have any problems that wouldn't be apparent to a
neophyte like myself?  Thanks in advance for any opinions.
