Bent Shaft Paddles Rock!

[taggermike]

I've tride a bent shaft paddles and they are very nice, particularly on my wrists. I don't have any joint issues but using one felt very comfortable. They are similar to the bent curling barbells at the gym. Same idea and curling with the bent barbell is MUCH easier on the wrist and elbows than a straight barbell. Mike

The bent barbells also work different parts of the muscles also. The key thing here is when we push our bodies in angles that they don't naturally go, pain will happen. If you care about your long term health I would recommend getting a ergo type paddle.
