Corn & Crew: Your Brown Bros paddle is the re-designed version of the
paddle. I still own one of the original paddles, with the handkey on the
same base. It is a very nice feeling, & performing paddle. I personally
prefer it to anything I have owned, except the Mercury. I have or have
owned Kent, W9WBL (first two models), and have used most that are
out there. Vibroplex puts out a quality paddle, but the iambic paddle
finger pieces are too close together for my liking. Many love the Bencher,
(I do not like it at all) so I guess it just boils down to personal preference.
