Does what it is supposed to do

I use the paddles about 260 days a year. Nice flat feel. The soft yet higher friction surface aids comfortable contact so the pads stay with the palm. The rounded shape is an improvement from the rectangular speedo pads. I rarely "catch an edege" upon entry. They do feel a bit bigger than the actual size - so watch out for possible shoulder strain. Overall, most excellenet.

I can already feel it  in my shoulder muscles.  It''s a great help and aid.

Less shoulder stress then with Tyr...

It really works your shoulders.

Straps are easy to adjust.
