The Squishy Paddles are made from a much softer rubber than the stock A5, X7, and 98 Cyclone paddles. The Squishy Paddles have been designed to increase the amount of paddle surface area that actually touches each ball. This is accomplished though rounding all the edges on the paddles, molding each so that its as gentle on the paint as possible. Notice the super soft/rounded edges of the paddles.

Our paddles also now come with a teflon washer that fits under the bottom paddle to ensure the paddles never bind with the bottom of the cyclone housing.
