They use a cardboard or pvc tube and check it on. sometimes they get dinged for an extra fee sometimes not. I, however, seem to be a walking ATM machine to airline counter employees when I travel. As far as a one piece standard paddle I can't imagine it being difficult to check on as long as you wrapped it well in bubble wrap, used a good ski type bag, and slapped a *fragile* sticker on it. No doubt you will get better info from someone who has actually shipped a one piece standard paddle with either result. Good luck.
