Does this paddle have feathered blades (twist) or even blades (no twist)?

The blades are straight but with a slight curve in them like a spoon. There are adjustment holes so you can have the blades in a different position from the other. I love this paddle, it's the only one I use.

It has multiple positions (three I think). I just use even blades, but I know you can feather it by pushing in the button and twist until the button clicks in the new position.

The paddle can be feathered or even. The lock can be placed in one of 2 holes that lock the blades together.

no, I'm just using ordinary double sided safety blades, I'm in the process of trying several different ones to see if I notice a preference. So far, I haven't noticed anything different. I have not tried what they call "feather" blades.

JS, Thank you for your interest in STIGA! The two sides of this paddle are identical other than the color. Hope this helps! STIGA

Probably not normal. The dhs I received looked fake. It was poorly glued together and was split from the handle all the way up. I've been playing for many years. Kept buying paddles on sale. But the best one I ever bought was Killersspin 800. Even if you don't get the super expensive ones you may find killerspin is excellent quality and well worth the money.

This paddle comes out of the factory with the rubbers glued with strong glue, while it is possible to replace them it would be difficult and not recommended. I would look elsewhere for a blade if you want to replace the rubber.

Yes! I just started this summer as well, and this paddle works just fine. It isn't as fancy as my brother-in-law's more expensive paddle (~$100), but it is similar construction, similar features just not quite as pretty. Works perfectly fine, and very affordable.

I haven't tried to use a paddle, but I'm sure if you check the manufacturer's website you could either find the attachment, or at least a number to call them to find out.

I would go for Jet-600, since it has more spin and grip to it, however you'll have to control your power shots cause it provides extra bounce. Stage Carbon Pro is good too but it doesn't offer you spin that much. Both are professional paddles.

This is a great paddle. I've only ever used one other type and it was awful! I bought this one to be sure I had one I liked.

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

No it doesn't. To change blades one needs to place the blade on a block of wood (or similar) to stop it from rotating. However, if one doesn't need to change blades often, that shouldn't be a major issue.

This is the older one that works. The new twist kind are useless. Hope this helps!

Power blade has an extra single blade on the back for trimming. Also glide strips are different. May also be different angle blades.

Mine came with the paddle only. It feels very secure due to the plastic "teeth" on the paddle that really grip your waist band tightly. However, I did not find the paddle to be comfortable or easy to adjust. I went to the Blackhawk website and was able to order the belt loop attachment for a few bucks. It works perfect - just don't know why they don't include it in the first place.

I received one, which is what I was expecting. It's a decent paddle. I play against my high school students, and it works as well as any paddles they bring. The surface is sufficiently sticky to make spinning easy.

RP has a rotating paddle. Carry angle can be changed by lossesing the adjustment screw. P paddle is stationary.

Hi. I don't know what model number they were, but they were the Yakgrips that were completely seamed together (without velcro) and not able to be adjusted. Though I have both, I do like these better, as they situate themselves much better without requiring constant readjustments. In doing this, you lose the ability to put them on paddles that do not break down into 2 or more pieces, as their ability to stretch open is the only way you can put them on the paddles. With one of my paddles, I had to have the velcro model in order to be able to put them on in the first place. Some of the new infinite adjustment paddles offer similar problems, as their design places the adjuster/lock at the end of one of the pieces, with their diameter being quite a bit larger than the shaft itself, so there is extra work and effort required to work the grips over the enlarged attachments. I like both a lot, and the comfort factor is a great improvement to long distance/time paddling. The only issue I see is that if you have issues with inconsistent patterns in the way things feel, this might be a problem as the seams stretch the length of the grips and are very noticeable in the feel of your hands. I always need to make sure the seams are in the right position to offer the least obvious inconsistency/bump in the pad. This is true with both the fixed seam models, as well as, the velcro ones, though the velcro ones are even more pronounced.
