Thanked: 5I went with the SRD Modular Paddle Strop for the following reasons:
- Since I'm just learning I wanted to have a 3" strop to avoid having to learn the "X" pattern, that was one variable I could easily remove from the equation.
- I also found that with the paddle, I could remove the variable of tautness - no need to worry about pulling too much or not enough.
- With the paddle I can strop wherever I want, not limited to the bathroom
- The modular aspect allows me to replace a pad easily and cheaply (~$20) when I nick it up - although you can replace leather on the other SRD strops, too.
- The SRD modular paddle came with a smooth leather, a rough leather, and 2 felt pads, along with some diamond spray, which increased the versatility of the strop.
I found I could get all this for a not so big cost premium compared to other higher quality strops. It may not be right for everyone and it's definitely more expensive than a filly, but I love mine and would recommend you at least consider it.
Cheers,
