Werner Construction & Design

ArticleJune 20, 2011

All Werner Ultimate and Premium blades are carefully hand crafted using a pressure molding process of high quality fiberglass or carbon weave materials and epoxy resin. Our pressure molding process has proven superior to other processes in achieving the right balance between light weight and durability.

Paddle Design

All Werner paddles have carefully designed features to offer the best paddle performance at several price points. In addition to a long life, our design features work together to offer all the benefits of reduced fatigue and increased paddle performance.

Smart-View™ Adjustable Ferrule System®

  • You determine what feather works best for you.

Light Swing Weight

  • Swing weight is the weight you feel each time you lift your blade during a stroke.
  • A light swing weight reduces fatigue.

Straight Shaft

  • Light weight and durable.
  • Predictable, straight, and continuous grip area.
  • Lightly loosen outer fingers to maintain natural wrist alignment.
