Thread: Interesting Paddle

No $$$ for the video right now. So what are the benefits over a regular paddle if used with pastes?

I've got a vintage one as well as a new one. They are nice other than having a small surface area on most of them. Mine is 1 1/4" x 8". They need to have the tension released when not being used as the leather will often bow if left taught.

I would think the Maestro's version are better engineered than the inexpensive ones and are likely a lot wider too.

I also have a version built around a wooden center piece so one has the stretched leather on two sides and hard, pasted wood on the other two. Kind of the best of both worlds provided it does not bow.
