Three stars for the design flaws
"I love the fit and feel of this paddle and the larger head. What I don't like is the super tight fitting neck and pop pin design that connects the paddle and shaft portions. The male shaft is so tight and I have to use a key to push the pop pin deep enough to twist the male portion out and the pop pin is not connected to anything so it moves and you have to get a long handled screwdriver to pull it back down into the hole of the male portion of the paddle shaft. Very frustrating, hopefully it will loosen up some soon and not be such a pain to take apart."
