A Law Paddle is a larger version of the Padball Paddle with a longer handle, measuring 15 inches long and 5-1/2 inches wide. The Law is a very versatile, offering good control and a range of uses. It’s small enough for single cheek use and big enough to deliver maximum impact. The Purpleheart Law paddle with holes has a super heavy-weight grasp. Purpleheart is an intensely purple wood from the Tropical Americas with accentuating lush dark brown and purple grains. Over time this wood can develop a rich brown patina, especially when left exposed to the sun. After years of searching we now use a special waterborne finish that keeps the intense purple color that is lost with other finishes.
