Tried this out today and was initially disappointed when I could hear it more than I felt it; cushioned surface didn’t make much of an impact when first starting out
However, after warmup and using some other implements, it was approaching the point where I would start to bruise, so we decided to go back and test this out again
This is where the cushioned surface truly shines: on already sore skin, the impact it makes is much larger than it was initially, and for me it allowed the fun to continue for a longer period of time since each hit fell within a comfortable pain range that was not too intense, but could easily be with enough repeated strikes.
Was feedbacked that the paddle brings colour to the skin without bruising
All in all I very much enjoyed the product (arrives in a plastic bag and paddle looks exactly as shown in the photo)
