How do I adjust the paddle to my size correctly?
There are several ways to adjust the paddle:
Option 1: body height + 10–15%, e.g., for someone 170 cm tall → set to around 190 cm.
Option 2: bend your arm at 90° and hold your hand above your head. Adjust the paddle to this height. Your arm should be slightly extended, but relaxed while gripping the paddle.
It’s worth investing in high-quality and especially lightweight paddles since they move with every stroke. A lighter paddle noticeably improves your experience and enjoyment.
