These really help get into the right form, and help build upper body strength. One minor gripe is the edges are a bit rough, I need to get a bit of sand paper!
Great for team workout
They are plenty big for me bu they work well.
I must have overlooked the sizing chart, but this was too large for my 10 year old. I have yet to evaluate its strength etc.
Started out with the .5 Red strokemaker paddles at behest of my masters coach....I eventually progressed to the next size up, these #1.0 green paddles. I am 5'6", 140 female masters doing 3,500 - 4,500 4 x's week and I really needed this bigger paddle; it is doing more to strengthen my stroke then the red and I adjusted easily to the change. Forces me to get my hips out of the way in order to properly complete my stroke-press with power, thus encouraging side hip thrust (body roll) as one should be swimming (get off that plank! i.e. your stomach)
I use these in training and they are very helpful. I am a petite master swimmer and they work for me. My husband also uses the same pair and they work for him too.
