Stainless Steel Paddle by Vorst & Bosch

Very nice paddle ,looks like a professional item, not a toy. Operates easily. I think a model between this small version and the large one would be a commercial option, an inch longer, but it still does the job. I use Propdog sharpie wipe off pens red,I think they do a green and black as well .Wiping the red off the paddle does not give your fingers a grubby look as the red blends to skin while the black makes your fingers appear dirty after a few tables. Also, if you are after a neat carry case, nip into Boots and look at their tweezer area. These are often packaged in nice leather containers, just the right size, providing a stylish and protective solution for your paddle.

The small paddle is quite small, but when performing for 2 - 3 persons it is fine. When performing for a larger group I would choose The Vorst and Bosch larger paddle. The handle is slim on both paddles and you have a choice about using the "rubber" cover for the handle or not for a better grip. So far I choose not to. I think the grip is quite good althoug the handle is quite slim. One advantage for the slim handle is that it requires very little thumb movement to do the necessary move and it is easy to have a clean performance. Both small and large paddles are very nice and will last a lifetime if handled properly.
