Title: Carbon versus Wood Paddles Post by: quickcatch on April 11, 2010, 01:20:30 PM Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone has experienced joint pain from using carbon fibre paddles and then switched to a wood/hybrid paddle (just for practices) resulting in less pain due to more flex and the absorbtion of vibration of the wood paddle. Some background, I have some discomfort when using a carbon paddle for a 2hr practice. Someone mentioned that I should try using a Kialoa for practices as it will put less strain on the joints.

Go back to carbon a few weeks before racing to get used to it again.
