Furry Paddling

The Fur-Lined Paddle is a new paddle from Sportsheets that mixes the feeling of leather with the sensation of fur. It works well for beginners or advanced players who want two different sensations out of one paddle.

extremely useful review
The Fur-Lined Paddle from Sportsheets is a paddle that's over a foot long and is made from leather and faux fur. It's about three inches in width, and the handle is about five inches in length. It comes with a hanging strap for easy storage of the paddle.

It doesn't come in any particular packaging. It comessafe and sound from EdenFantasys, but it doesn't have any particular packaging. It comes with a little cardboard tag that's attached to the hanging strap, but that's about it for packaging. The tag comes off really easily and leaves no mark on the paddle.

The paddle itself is of okay quality. I'm just not as fond of those paddle of other paddles I've used. It's a bit hard to explain. The paddle itself is made up of the couple layers of leather as well as a layer of faux fur. It looks like it has two leathers of leather with some other material in between the layers as, when viewed from the side, you can see one layer of black, one of brown, and one of black again. The layers are sanded down nicely and won't hurt you, but it, for some reason, does bother me to be able to see the brown layer in this paddle. The faux fur layer is sewn on on top of the leather layer, but the edges were not glued down, so the edges of the fur do come up off of the paddle itself. The stitching that holds it together does seem firm though, so I don't expect the fur layer to pull off of the paddle.

I'd be careful about how much weight you have this paddle hold through the hanging strap though. The hanging strap isn't threaded through a hole in the handle of the paddle like most hanging straps. Instead, the strap itself seems to be located underneath the fur layer, and if I had to guess (since I can't see how it's attached), I'd say that Sportsheets probably sewed the strap into the paddle. It does hang up the paddle well, and I've had no issues with either of the straps coming out. Along wtih this, Sportsheeds has their name embedded into the leather-side in the handle which won't be much of an issue, but it will be a pain to clean if you happened to pick up this paddle with lubricated hands.

How does this handle? It handles okay. It's extremely light, so this can handle a lot of repeated use without tiring out your muscles. It's flexible, but it's not annoyingly so. The handle is actually a bit scratchy when it moves back and forth in your hand, so that's something to keep in mind when you're going to use it for awhile. It just doesn't feel as sturdy as other paddles I've used. Maybe this is what Sportsheets planned by making it so light-weight, butit just makes me feel like it isn't going to hold up to too much rough use. (We have used it a couple of rough times with no ill effects though.)

The fur side actually feels pretty nice. Because of the light weight, the paddle doesn't hurt when used with the fur side. It sincerely feels like being hit with fur-covered cardboard. It even sounds like it. It doesn't hurt in the slightest, and it'd be very, very hard to leave any marks or cause much pain while using the fur-covered side. This is perfect for beginners or those who want the idea of paddling without the pain of paddling that most people assume is involved.

However, when you want to get more serious or include more pain, the paddle can be flipped over to use the leather side. The leather side is completely flat, and it just has the leather. Because leather isn't nearly as padded, this side can be extremely stingy. You can definitely cause redness and pain when using this side, and depending on how hard you use it, it'd be possible to cause marks. It is a bit harder to hold the paddle when using this side since the handle is covered in fur (especially when your hand gets sweaty), but it's still able to be used.
Experience
Cleaning this can be a bit difficult. If you get bodily fluids and lubricant on this, be sure to clean it as, if you don't, it could mat the faux fur on the paddle where it won't be nearly as soft. I recommend keeping it away from lubricant and bodily fluids completely. For cleaning, use a slightly damp rag and wipe down the leather and the fur, but make sure to let it dry as the fur needs to dry to stay soft. Along with that, don't use soap as leather dislikes soap, and both of these materials also can not be sterilized, so make sure to keep this partner-bonded if you get bodily fluids on it.

Overall, I like the paddle, but I'm not overly impressed by it. I'm a bit worried that it won't hold up over time, but it does do a decent job of being a paddle. It provides two different sensations, and it's beginner-friendly as well, so you can easily pick this up as a beginner and continue to use it as you become a non-beginner.
Follow-up commentary
We just don't really like this paddle. It started to bend pretty quickly after we regularly used it, and it didn't hold up well to regular paddling. The faux fur produced an okay sensation, but as it didn't really last long enough to play with it long-term, it never really was all that loved.
