The Werner Player Bent Small Shaft Kayak Paddle is a popular choice for playboaters with smaller hands who want the Player's proven power, responsiveness and light weight, but find the regular shaft diameter too big. The Small-Bent Shaft Player still comes with the regular Player's mid size, down turned blades which enter the water quickly for more initial power, but don't get in the way for freestyle moves. It also comes with the Small Neutral Bent Shaft which positions smaller hands in a more natural way giving the paddler a better balanced, comfortable and controlled paddle stoke reducing fatigue and increasing ripping ability.  The Player now has a strong, full carbon shaft that offers a lighter swing weight for less fatigue.

To know if you need a small diameter shaft, measure your hand from the base of the palm to the tip of your middle finger. If your measurement is 6 1/4" or smaller you should try a small shaft.

If you are looking for a smaller blade design, check out the Werner Twist Small Bent Shaft Paddle.
