My first paddle was a cheap square-bladed paddle and that's all I knew. Then I went to a Werner all carbon paddle and it was amazing the difference! I did feel like it didn't move enough water for me since I was used to the old beast, which in turn meant I couldn't go as fast unless I paddled like crazy. The only perk was that I could paddle leisurely all day without a hint of fatigue, but honestly I still use my original and haul the Werner as a backup. I agree though, know your paddle stroke and buy not just based on the numbers.
