Franklin Ben Johns Signature Pro
A starter paddle with a famous name on it. Perfectly serviceable for the first few months of play, and easy to hand down once you upgrade.
Rally Meister Wood
A seven-ply maple paddle that exists for one reason: equipping a group for under $15 a head. It is heavy, harsh and spinless, and it is still the best wood paddle sold.
