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!

I designed Backstroke Paddles. You can see them underwater here:

And get them at Tropicalpenguin.com or competitiveswimmer.com. I love them. They flex (made of ultralight aluminum) and are thin enough to allow me to rotate my arm and snap through the stroke. I've invented five other paddles too and quite a few other things. I don't make swim suits -- just equipment to make people faster and healthier. I look forward to your opinions and ideas.
