Quickblade V Drive Vector Net or V Drive Hybrid.
Does anyone use either of these paddles, and can provide some feedback please?
I have a QB kanaha all carbon, a great paddle that has endured some punishment, but wondering if these have a bit more flex in the shaft? Maybe a tad easier on the joints?
Cheers

The V-Drive has the heaviest lock on the paddle catch which covers technique flaws but is also hard on the body. It also paddles larger then the listed size, e.g. my 91 V-Drive felt much bigger and it's also the reason V-Drives now come in the smaller 71 and 81 si versions.

Shaft stiffness is irrespective of the blade construction. The Vector and Hybrid construction refers to the blade construction only. I run both full carbon and glass blades with the glass having more a bit more give then the full carbon. I'd guess the Vector and Hybrid blades sit right in between.

If you're close to the 70kg mark, I highly recommend getting a Flyweight shaft, it's a perfect fit in the V-Drives and definitely a bit softer all around.
