Where it sits
| Spec | Extreme Tour | Position | Compared with (our database) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 7.4 oz (midpoint of 7.1–7.7 oz) | lighter than 100% | 288 other paddles |
| Length | 16.063 in | shorter than 66% | 271 other paddles |
| Handle length | 5 in | shorter than 89% (10% same) | 265 other paddles |
| Weight within Head | 7.4 oz | lightest | 8 paddles from Head |
Too few paddles like it for a fair comparison (3 elongated paddles at 11–12 mm, 5 paddles at 11–12 mm), so it is compared with every paddle.
