I BOUGHT A SET AND HAVE TRAINED FOR 3 IRONMAN 140.6 WITH THE SAME PAIR;
EXCELLENT FIT, EASY TO PUT ON AND REMOVE, HIGHLY DURABLE

I sure enjoy these paddles as they are very light weight and cut through the water with ease. However, under regular use,  one has already begun to crack. What's up with that? I bought 3 pairs and am wondering if they all will crack so easily over such a short time span, or did I get the weak one out of the batch?

I would like it better if I didn't have to assemble it myself. It came with one long piece of rubber tubbing that you would have to cut into 4 pieces for the wrists and middle fingers of each hand. However, it was only a slight inconvenience.

I only bought this size because when I couldn't find the next size down when I was looking to buy. But these paddles are great, they are so massive and just look intimidating. They make pull sets hurt a lot more but I don't think my coach really minds that. It says for college guys but I'm going into my junior year of high school and can handle them. I would say to avoid them if you don't have much upper body strength.

These are very big compared to other swim paddles.  If you get these be very careful until you are use to them.

Excellant paddles to use in Freestyle, works well with 'stroke correction' too, sometimes the paddles crack in time and use of the product. But a 'must have' for a serious swimmer!

Paddles flow great through the water creating a great workout.
