Can anyone recommend hand paddles not gloves that are great with all strokes. I am looking for a paddle that will help me build my strength and my technique.
Strokemasters are my favorites, but I found I'd usually break them after a year or two. I currently have a set of TYR Catalysts and they seem much more durable. They're thicker to begin with and they don't have the small through-holes that allow crack propagation like Strokemasters do.
I agree with the TYR Catalyst. I've had a pair for close to 10 years now, and I'm just beginning to think of getting a new pair. I do go through tubing more often though, but it is pretty cheap and easy to replace.
Mine are XL, some guys joke that they're the size of dinner plates. I use them maybe 2-3 times a month, and I've never had shoulder problems from them. They certainly make me feel fast.
