thank bro. quite cheap for that paddle. i will discuss with my boss coz we like to buy wood paddles in 24 unit
I have tried it in water before. Feels just like a grey owl. The quality is good enough, perhaps not the high-shine quality lacquer finish of the grey owl, but nontheless serve its purpose well.
Xiang Rui? Never heard of this brand before man ... but it sure looks good. Somemore priced at $45. Sounds like a bargain ... especially for serious beginners or sch kids. 
Considering not everyone has the money to go for a carbon paddle, an affordable and decent, light wood paddle is still the staple paddle for most of us. I use a wood paddle for training and competition so will like to refute the fact that they can only be used for beginners or school kids.
