I'm torn over this paddle.
It's small, lightweight, and carries a wallop. It has a mean side, and a nasty side. It will easily leave marks, and it's very stingy. Difficult to break, too, as it flexes (just nnmot enough to soften the blow.)
A sadist pushed me to tears with the nasty side of this one in only nine strikes.
I leave mine hanging in a well-ventilated room, and that seems to help with the usual PVC stink. Cleans up easily, too.
