Paddles, where’s the science?

Paddle use seems primarily subjective, a feeling, intuition etc. Where is the information, the double blind studies, measurements in the flume etc.? How are the shapes, the holes, the size, of paddles decided? Inquiring minds want to know.

    For me, my primary use of paddles is to test my stroke. If, when I am using paddles, they get "stuck" in the water -- especially as my hand is nearing the end of the stroke -- then I know I'm dragging my hand/arm, or otherwise doing something inefficient in my stroke.
