I like to incorporate a pull set a couple times a week and I use the TYP Catalyst paddles regularly for freestyle pull. Unfortunately, I don't find them very practical for doing backstroke work. I find that them a little clunky in the water they slow my cadence rather significantly. Might someone recommend a paddle that might be built to better mimic a Backstroke pull? Thanks!

Thanks for the link! I had to go check 'cause I couldn't help but think of the thread about women and men competing with 1/2" false fingernails in races > "Finger Paddles" I was almost expecting to see a diy beauty kit! :D

You're welcome Tom. Recently the age group coach at our pool bought a few. He's finding them to be a good training tool for keeping his kids connected to the water while they paddle. And again, they're great for developing a clean entry and consistent pull pattern.
Laura, I found your paddle review video in the on-line archives. No finger paddles though. :)
