You might like the Selkirk Vanguard S2, they’re expensive (~$200 new) but the factory seconds are like $130 on Amazon.

Keep in mind that the handle is REALLY short, but I like it . The other thing is the factory seconds take $70 off but don’t have the solid warranty that comes with the new paddles. Great products though. I have this and the Engage EX which has a rougher texture surface for more spinning than the Selkirk with 9 grams of weight (don’t worry about that level of customization yet).
