I also find that finger position seems best when at the very end of the paddle. A Schurr Profi the KXPD1 is surely not. But as one who has, on multiple occasions, forgotten paddle, cabling, or both, it is a functional and welcome widget. Probably the most difficult challenge to overcome with the KXPD1 is the absence of tactile feedback. N2XE John Ceccherelli
