you can play table tennis with one.
Don't get a paddle, get an organic one, the whole paddle ON/OFF thing is annoying.

As Dave - take more power/torque but IMHO wreck the driveablity of a road car - could try a 6 paddle rather than 4 though.

Yeah - but 4 paddle seem most common on RSTs hence the above. Agreed 6 paddle is the way to go.
RST ones here...

Never had one - but as the guys above said they are not a problem. The 4 paddle is a nightmare (you get used to it but still a pain) in traffic. I would say it was the worst thing I ever did to my RST and that wasn't even a daily driver - splash out for the 6 paddle if your running high torque or an uprated organic if not.
