Contoured paddles vs. Flat paddles

Howdy folks, Currently I am using speedo's contoured swim paddles and they work great, but it is time for me to move up to the next size. Is there a difference between these paddles and other "flat" paddles (meaning will one or the other be more effective for training)? Or does it just come down to personal preference? Thanks

    You purist you! :--) I suppose you drink your coffee black and your whisky straight, with no ice.... I still give props to paddles; they've helped my stroke and I will continue to use them, no matter how much you make fun of them or diss them or whatever. You certainly don't have to use them, as that is your right. But I will continue to use pool toys, as encouraged by our coach: I will use fins, I will use paddles, but you won't catch me with a floater between my legs.... I cannot argue with you, as you are set against paddles and no matter what anyone tells you, you will not "listen." That's OK by me; that's part of what makes this forum so much fun!
