When putting in a similar effort,\u00a0<strong>paddlers can expect a 3-5% improvement in speed and lap times<\/strong>\u00a0or paddle the same speed with less effort (when compared to the original Hydro, which is already faster than most race paddles).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reduced Fatigue<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The combination of flow technology and deep scoop produces a fluid stroke which\u00a0<strong>reduces energy usage while increasing forward thrust<\/strong>.
