The right shaft circumference is a thicker oval than left shaft, which is just round. Is this "normal?" I was told it is a right handed paddle ?!?

It's not right or left. The off round shape on the right is simply so you can feel the angle the blade hits the water without looking. Don't think about it. Your brain will auto program so after a few minutes you'll just happily be paddling along with no thinking required.

I'm sorry Pamela, I'm not much help. I gave this as a gift, so I do not have the product to check now. However, I know that it's being used and they are please with the paddle.

I've recieved them both ways in a box and shrink wrapped to cardboard. The left or right handed question I can't answer, I am right handed and have friends that are left handed that used mine and we both loved them. I now have 4 different sizes from the 12 inch to one that I use to pick up my butts when smoking to turn. Try them, I bet you will love them also.

Hi, I just got mine a few days ago and weighed it on a Pelouze digital mailing scale and the paddle weighed 6.7 oz. or 190 grams.Don't know why there is such a discrepancy with the other weigh ins but it looks like mine is somewhere in the middle.Hope this helps.

Yes. The shaft had a couple of detent pin holes to choose from when you lock them together. Take note that this is a touring (or flat water) paddle. I tried to use it as a white water paddle but I don't recommend it unless you are only on Class 1 or 2 max, or if you can execute a roll without a paddle assist.

RP has a rotating paddle. Carry angle can be changed by lossesing the adjustment screw. P paddle is stationary.

JS, Thank you for your interest in STIGA! The two sides of this paddle are identical other than the color. Hope this helps! STIGA

Right-handed all the way. My dr. has told me that I am done with golf for good, due to bone disintegration in my cervical area. so I am really anxious to sell them now as there is no hope of ever usng them again. BTW, these were used at a driving range probably 5 -10 times but have never actually been used to play on a course. No soil, lawn, dirt, etc.

The one I purchased was right-handed. Also, it's a little too hard for my 6 year old son to pull back, so be sure the child is able to pull back every bit of 18 lbs of pressure!

Not sure about the paddle you're referencing, however, I will say the speed from the forehand absolutely increased, as well as control of backhand slams. I highly recommend this paddle.

By default, it's for right-handed users. There may be southpaw version floating around somewhere but the one I bought came right-handed.

Not every paddle is like this. Personally, for the most part I believe it is a design thing. In professional table tennis, the players can customize the amounts of padding on each side of the paddle. (If you don't know what I mean by padding, feel a nicer paddle as opposed to a cheap wooden one) Professional players alter the amount of padding so that they can vary the level of spin they put on the ball with each stroke. When the sides are different colors, it is easier for the player to differentiate which side to use. I hope that helps! But for 99% of people, it is largely just design I'm pretty sure Not every paddle is like this. Personally, for the most part I believe it is a design thing.

Greetings, it is right handed, but the mechanism is smooth enough for using it with the right hand. Unfortunately those with a dominate left hand don't get to use fine instruments as this.

The picture shows a long shaft on the plunger, (the smaller diameter shaft) but it comes in at least 2 lengths, and I ordered the wrong one, had to cut mine. The small ear on one contact can be either left or right side for these starters. Unless you have it apart, even a dealer's manual doesn't really show the one in your solenoid. Cross check several supplier's pictures to see the differences, but only get what is in the solenoid you have. Solenoid comes off the starter with two small bolts and the contact nuts, that part is easy- with the starter on a bench. Getting the starter out can be the problem.

I bought this at my wife's request and we're both "rightys." My wife is an experienced cook and I asked her if there's any reason why this spatula couldn't be used left-handed. She's very satisfied with this spatula, by the way. She answered that she saw no reason why it couldn't. We went to the kitchen to see what we could tell and it seems that it could clearly be used either-handed. At about 1.5-inches in from the fat end, there's a very slight bend...looking at it the way the picture here appears, upward. The angle of this bend is very small. But, all in all, I'd say that being left-handed isn't a problem with this spatula and it's utily is equal for left and righ-handed people. I hope this helps.

It feels somewhere in the middle. I loaded mine with most of the weights and it feels a lot better. My problem is that the shape and feel of it in my hand is wrong, its shaped more for the left hand than the right. It's sort of awkward.

Interesting my wife is right handed and I am left handed. Although my wife allows me limited use of these very nice knives. I went and looked at the handles and they look symmetric to me - I can not see any shapes that would indicate the knives are handed. When I have used them left handed, I did not sense any issues using them.Best regards,Chuck
