This is a paddle utility constructed out of 1/2” square aluminum that is approximately 3” long. Because the tube is SQUARE in shape (and not rectangular like most paddles) and because that shape is so large (1/2”x1/2”), I found it to be a bit clumsy and difficult to operate smoothly. The size, for me, makes performing the paddle move very choppy and therefore risky to the eye. Design-wise, I feel like the manufacturer should have made the rod a bit smaller and definitely rectangular in shape. The engraving on each side looks really nice, and the rod’s color is very festive.

Overall, I’ll probably not use it very often because of the awkwardness of the handling due to the large size.
