    X, Interesting observation about the paddles. Some guys like them firmly on a table top like a bench hone so they cannot move. I typically use a padle either seated with it lying across my thigh or standing with one end resting on something in both cases giving it a little "give" or "float". It seems to feel more natural that way as it even out any uneveness in my technique.

    What they are not designed for that some newbies forget is sticking straight out by the handle like a sword.

    Well, lately I have been sitting down, with one end resting near my knee with the handle on near my chest. You would have to see it to understand, but it work out fabulously. Thank goodness I have the starter strop coming with it.
