Elongated
Paddle Shape
- Elongated – Longer for extra reach with a narrower face which reduces the sweet spot. This also shifts the balance towards the top of the paddle which can increase swing weight and power but may be harder to maneuver.
- Standard – The “classic” paddle shape to give a balance of power and control with a generous sweet spot. The weight is evenly distributed, making it easier to maneuver.
- Wide Body – Have a broader face, which provides a larger sweet spot.
- Tear Drop – Offers a larger sweet spot like wide body but with a slightly elongated reach. Good middle-ground for a blend of power and control with comfortable reach.
- Hybrid – Designed to combine the best features of two or more different shapes. They might have the length of an elongated paddle with the sweet spot of a wide body, or the reach of a teardrop with the balance of a standard.
