Which paddle stood out the most this week? In the first episode of Paddle of the Week, I tested a range of paddles—from stiff and muted to fast and explosive—and one completely caught me off guard.
I break down how each paddle felt, what worked, what didn’t, and crown one as the Paddle of the Week 🏆. The winner wasn’t the paddle I expected.
