which oars to get?

No, ergs don't yet float, but some of us do, and here's where you get to discuss that other form of rowing.

which oars to get?

Post by tewbz » February 14th, 2013, 10:05 pm

ok im in a dillema here, I have 2 sets of oars that im trying to decide between for my single.

first set is a set of smoothie 2 plain edge, 284-289 length. skinny shafts with medium flex.

2nd set is a set of fat2s vortex edge, 270-275 length. skinny shaft with soft flex.

im trying to decide which one to get and am really stuck!
i rowed fat2s last fall and really liked them, but they were to long so i couldent get the right gearing (to heavy) so i wanted to get the shorter ones.

I have also rowed a set of smoothie 2 plain edge and i liked them, but they just didint have that same grip i was used to on the fat 2s at the entry. not necessarily a bad thing just different.

so What do you think I should go for and why.
