  • Raptor Paddles

    Just a quickie......

    Am I right in thinking that TT Raptor paddles come in different weights and are colour coded?

    If so, what is the order of the colours from one end (say heavy) to the other end (say light)?

    Cheers.

        From memory, the greenies are the lightest at 20g, white are next at 25g and black are heaviest at 30g. The 20g paddles are also available in blue and red, just to confuse things

          Ummm,
          Black are the stock paddles that come with the kit, their also the most docile.
          Pretty heavy i think, 30g or more.

          White paddles are a little more lively and nipper at 25g

          And the legendary *Greenies* are the sharpest before looking at carbon paddles and i think are 20g.


          I'm not 100% sure, but at least thats the order they go in heh.

          Also i'v heard that they are making the lightest (Greenies) in a number of different colours (ie, red/blue etc).

          Hope that helps somewhat

          Best regards

            Just looked on the Real Raptors website and they list the Greens at 20g the Whites 25g, but the blues and reds they don't give any weights.

            The carbons like the stubz are really light, not weighed them but they really do feel lighter

                  i find the green ones are too light. sure they make it quick on the cyclics but it deviates from the path you set it on all the time making you work harder to keep it on track through the larger moves.

                  its worse on some blades than others tho.

                  i find the whites are a good mid ground not super fast but quick enough and not too devient.

                  needless to say you dont have this compromise on the knight as you can run a lower flybar ratio which means you can use semi heavy paddles without getting the devience
