Does this paddle have a "padded" handle?

NO but you can purchase Cascade Creek Yakgrips Black 100-B to make it softer..I don't have a problem but will get the grips in the near future

It has a 4 1/4 inch premium gamma grip (handle). Feels good and firm and has some soft thickness to the grip, like a tennis handle grip. It seems to be a leather grip. One reason I purchased this particular paddle was because it had the same grip size as my tennis racquet. I have been very pleased with the paddle. You can see the specs about the grip and handle for the Contour paddle at http://www.zztsports.com/

Yes, it is nicely padded. We have three in our family and they work well and our granddaughter likes it. It also cleans easily.

No it does not, however it was a great first fishing kayak . I have upgraded now but still have this one for buddies or wife to join me. If you are just starting out, don't skimp on the paddle it can make a big difference

The material in the handle is aluminum, it's not a high end carbon paddle or anything like that.

No it does not. I don't remember if it has handles though when it folds in half.

Yes. It comes with two paddles, one collapsible and one fixed. They recommend using the collapsible one for everything but things like jam and chutney. I've never used the fixed one.

Yes it does and it works well though i had to enforce the arm with an additional fence steel pipe to make it stronger to carry my kayak and paddle board together which it does now perfectly.

The handle is rubberized and offers great grip. Not sure if there is plastic under it though.

Yes it does. I just got my paddle + case yesterday and the paddle does not fit properly in the case. You have to shove it, shift it around a bit and then your paddle will fit in. I can't understand why they can't provide a paddle case that fits the paddle properly.

Yes, the paddle has a sanded surface. I don't know about a lot of spin, but it is sanded.

Yes this paddle is easily adjusted on the fly after the initial set up. Great paddle I have had it about three months and love it. BTW, the initial adjustment requires no tools only a trust if the level to tighten it loosen the grip. I highly recommend this paddle.

Yes both paddles I had purchased the rubbers fell off after about 2-3 months...

Yes it comes with a padded messenger style strap which is why I originally bought the bag as I prefer that style but I find I just use the regular handles most of the time. It's just easier to sling over one shoulder as the bag is rather large.
