The Paddlette Paddles have the contacts near the fingerpieces but the "pivot" is accomplished by bending
the arms which are a thin flexible brass stock. These are very tiny and lightweight paddles but have a pretty good feel.
I have the older unimproved version that doesn't have the stiffeners on the arms so it probably has a slightly mushier feel than the new ones.
