Knysna polo blades?

[ErikV]

Hi, does anybody ever heard of Knysna poloblades?
A friend of me goes to south-afrika and told me about cheap Knysna poloblades.
Does anybody ever heard of this? Did you tried them?
What's the quality?

Bye, Erik

I bought a knysna paddle about 4yrs ago and it was without doubt one of the best paddles I have used. When I broke one of the blades I immediately ordered a new knysna paddle. I was less than impressed!! The paddle they sent me had two left hand blades. I sent it back and the replacement paddle was “useless” – the blade thickness in some places was 1mm. When I complained I was told that they were unable to make me a sufficient paddle and they gave me my money back. Various other players in our team have also experienced problems with knysna paddles. Personally I would not recommend knysna paddles.

Too late, i already ordered 1 pair of blades. I will put my experiences on canoepolo.com .

So if they give me good blades than it's an effort for them. If not than i will hardly disadvice the blades on canoepolo.com

It's a try-out for my i have still my double dutch paddle. But i need a second paddle. Because i'am one the last left handed paddle players in the Netherlands ( i can't borrow a paddle during a tournament).

Thank for your post. i hope they deliver me a good pair of blades.
