I use one in preference to my Kent paddles, it's currently sitting on my
bench stuck down with 3 pieces of "Blu-tac". For short term portable use, I
simply hold it on my right knee, for longer term portable use I again stick
it with "Blu-tac" to a camping table. I've seen pictures of them fixed to
Perspex, etc.

The Palm paddle didn't feel right when I first used it, but after a few
months use I wouldn't be without it.
