[Paddlewise] Subtle motion-Greenland Style Paddles

"Additionally the wrist sees very little movement. The grips rotate in the
hand. If I am not mistaken I seem to recall this was the problem that Bill
Lowe sought to solve.

 I have never used one but paddled w/ him for a few hours a few yrs back and
recall that the motion he employs is very subtle. Minor up and down with the
fore arm pivoting at the elbow and and thrust came mostly from upper torso
rotation. Send him a note, he would probably make you one for a reasonable
fee."

Mike,

What you describe seems important to me regarding stroke mechanics. 
My interpretation of your description is that Bill Lowe is paddling with elbows 
down at his side, rather than raised as many racers instruct us to do. 

Is this the case?

Thanks,
Chuck Sutherland
