Paddles! Hooah! What are they good for?

So I have small paddles I use for *** drill (pressing the water). I've swam a little front crawl with them too but I don't really know what I ought to be doing. What is the use of paddles going to do for me? Are there various types of target goals (speed or sttrength) that require different uses? Will it create shoulder issues? Any set ideas for an average swimmer? Should I swim or just pull with them on? Thanks...

    Hand position and grip, right on Chaos. i have a pair of speedo paddles that are shaped like a potato chip and are not any bigger than my hand. they can assist in finding the best hand position (grip) but unlike those big monsters, won't make you feel like you are moving in slow motion when you take them off. i don't use them regularly....only when i am looking to correct/improve some small detail that their design would help with.
