Vertical Element

In terms of actual blade size the VE blades are similar to that of the Werner Player. But as for the amount of purchase and grip on the water they aren't comparable to any of the Werner range. The VE blade shape is unique in that it is designed to hold water on the blades surface giving you greater grip and purchase on the water during strokes. This removes the need for a long or oversized blade shape in order to give you power. As the surface area is still reasonably small you also get good acceleration and can maintain a high stroke rate when necessary.
