Title: Grey Owl Paddles - 5 grades to choose from..... Post by: RayRay on April 26, 2005, 11:09:12 PM I was looking to buy my own paddle and I thought others might be interested in what's I've found. I didn't know there are 5 grades of the Grey Owl paddle:

Post by: zephyrantes on April 27, 2005, 12:11:22 AM RayRay: I was wondering if you could post up some official weights for each paddle. I remember reading somewhere that the Pearl actually weighs in a bit heavier than the High-Performance... if that's the case, then what is the benefit of buying the Pearl paddle? Durability isn't exactly an issue, when compared to the High-Performance...
Also, what kind of product warranty are we looking at for the Pearl, Carbon-Shaft, and Jet paddles? Title: Grey Owl Paddles - 5 grades to choose from..... Post by: RayRay on April 27, 2005, 12:04:28 PM zephyrantes: I will email to 6-16 again and post any reply from them. Ray.

REGULAR - 623.68g HI-PERFORMANCE - 510.29g CARBON-SHAFT - 453.59g PEARL - 623.68g JET - 510.29g And for comparison here's some other paddles Burnwater Reactor - 430-460 grams w/ carbon T Simon River Sports - 450-510g on average depending on paddle length. ZRE - 411.06-453.59g on average depending on paddle length and handle. Title: Grey Owl Paddles - 5 grades to choose from.....
