I love these paddles.  They hold tight to my hand and yet leave enough finger wiggle to adjust my goggles without taking them off.  The only reason that I didnt give them five stars is that they arrived with two sets of tubing and absolutely no instructions on how they "should" be strung.  I ended up going to Arena's web site and blowing up the catalog picture.

Paddles have lots of options as far as hand placement with straps! Zero complaints!
