- A smaller surface area on its inside edge reduces pressure on the biceps tendon and supraspinatus muscle of the rotator cuff during the pull-through phase of a freestyle stroke.
- The holes along this edge minimize resistance and help reduce the shoulder stress which can result from training with over-sized paddles.
- A unique offset strap design improves stroke technique by preventing improper paddle rotation and allows a more comfortable fit.
- The flow hole in the palm area gives you a better feel for the water, which is essential for improving stroke technique.
- The Catalyst is constructed for durable, UV-protected poly-propylene, injection-molded a smooth, pliable shape without sharp edges.
