HI all. I need help deciding what paddles to use. I just bought TYR Catalyst paddles size S. I am a male, 23 years old, weigh 150 and swim about 3-4 times a week. I would say that I am intermediate. Basically, I feel that the paddles provide too much resistance for me. Although, the Small size is what it recommened. I have no experience with paddles so I am un sure of how they are suppposed to feel. I am afriad that if I move a size smaller, my hands might be slightly too big for it. The XS is recommended for for males and females 11-12 years old. I am in a bind so any help would be appreciated!!!! Regards, Cliff :)

My friend and I were abroad, and participated in a video analysis of our freestyle. Having seen the underwater results - we both held our heads in shame
The coach suggested we invest in some finis agility paddles - not to swim sets - but simply to work on improving our catch. He lent us a pair and they certainly felt very different to conventional paddles
:carolers:Santa has been very generous and sent some as an early Christmas present. I have found this link and clearly there are very diveregent views on paddles and their use both a aids to technique and for swimming sets etc
Does anyone have views/ experience on using the finis agility ones to improve catch technique? did it work?
