You can't really compare feathered euro to GP as the stroke is completely different. Apples and Guava's.
: I've always used my paddle in about a 30 degree feathered position. This
: seemed natural and it felt to me that I was getting less repetitive stress
: in my wrists from this setup. As I've listened to those advocates of GPs,
: I've begun to rethink what I've always done. Since I'm planning to build
: myself a couple of paddles to go with my still uncompleted boat, I'm
: wondering if I should try moving away from a feathered paddle. I'm aware
: of the advantage unfeathered paddles offer for a quick, unexpected brace.
: Other than personal preference, what suggestions would people make?
