I normally use either a dual paddle Begali or Bencher, but recently I purchased a (dual paddle) Palm paddle for portable operations. At this point, I haven't had time to play with adjustments, but adjusted from the factory it feels distinctly soft under finger pressure, almost like the lever itself were flexible. What really surprised me is that this "softness" felt so natural. It is almost like it reduces my mistakes, and makes sending easier than with my other paddles. I suppose the Bencher has a slight amount of flexing too, but nothing like this. I wonder if any other paddle models also make softness an asset. Maybe there is a downside with the softness when one pushes the speed higher. I haven't tried that yet.
