Default Paddling: Typical Injuries?

What magic paddle do you own that doesn't flutter? I want one.


Nothing magic about it, it's all in developing a feel for the paddle. In
my experience, fluttering is most commonly caused by overpowering the
paddle. If you develop a feel for a paddle and when to apply pressure
for maximum effect, it won't flutter. When you're really digging in and
paddling hard, you may have to grip it lightly to keep it under control,
but that's true of most paddles.

I remember the first time that I tried a GP; it sawed up and down in the
water uncontrollably. That never happens now. It's all in the technique.
