Its 685 cm² fibreglass blades provide a positive catch and a useful balance of power and control, while the carbon shaft keeps the paddle lightweight and responsive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe see the Strike as an excellent option for smaller and mid-sized paddlers, or those who want a capable whitewater paddle for varied river conditions without the demands of a full-size blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVersatile mid-size blade design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Strike's increased blade-to-shaft offset encourages a more vertical stroke through the power phase, helping the blade engage positively with the water. This is useful when accelerating, making crossings or driving through rapids where a reliable catch matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe asymmetrical blade shape and dihedral profile help promote smooth, stable forward paddling. Its reinforcement spine adds stiffness and strength while allowing the blade to manoeuvre effectively when linking strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCarbon bent shaft for a natural grip\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe carbon shaft offers a combination of low weight, stiffness and strength. Its ergonomic bent design provides shaped grip positions intended to encourage a more natural hand and wrist position during the stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether the bent shaft is right for you comes down to personal preference, but it is worth considering if you value the shaped grip positions and want a premium paddle for regular whitewater use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRight-hand control and feather angle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003eright-hand control\u003c\/strong\u003e version. Your right hand controls shaft rotation during recovery. The control hand is different from the feather angle, which describes the angle between the blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the available feather options when selecting your paddle. R45 is popular for river running, while R30 is commonly chosen for playboating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWerner Strike specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"data-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFibreglass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShaft material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbon fibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShaft design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eErgonomic bent shaft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade surface area\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e685 cm²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46.5 × 19.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAverage weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,056 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eControl hand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRight hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNova\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest suited to\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRiver running and downriver paddling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Strike is a great option if you want a mid-size blade with a premium carbon bent shaft.
