This is mentioned many times.  However, the paddler can't vary this.
It is dictated by the position of the hands on the shaft and their
position relative to the blade.  You can adjust the hand position,
the amount of motion of the hands (eg fix the top hand and move the 
lower, fix the lower and move the upper etc) and angle of the shaft,
but the relationship between the forces in the hands is fixed.
