MATERIALS
Higher-end paddles are typically made of materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, or graphite, which are more expensive than lower-end materials like aluminum or wood. These high-quality materials provide better performance, durability, and control, which make them more desirable to serious players, resulting in higher prices. These materials provide a much better feel.
SHAPE
The construction method of a paddle can affect its cost due to the use of specialized technology, equipment and materials, as well as the level of precision and expertise required. For example, a carbon fiber paddle may require complex layup techniques and costly molds, while a wooden paddle involves a much simpler process.
