We like the grip and adjustable shaft on the Accent Advantage 780 Paddle. The Hybrid Shaft System features an elastomer grip to encourage lighter grip pressure, reduced tension, and increased power as well as a LeverLock system that lets us adjust the paddle length up to 16 inches. It's easy-- we just lift the lever on the grip, adjust the shaft to our preferred length, and then close the lever to lock it into place. The mid-sized blade is best for those of us looking for more power with a higher cadence of strokes.
