Simply the best.

I've been a ham for almost 50 years, and I've owned just about every kind of key, bug and paddle there is. There are better CW ops than me, but I'm ok and can appreciate a good paddle; my previous one was a Schurr Profi 2. I recently got an N3ZN ZN-9Z, and it's quite simply the best I've ever had. The machining is a work of art, every adjustment is precise and the action is like an extension of your fingertips. There is no drag, no stickiness, just instant responsiveness. There are bearings everywhere, and even the adjustment tensioners are engineered; adjustable spring tension on a teflon rider pressing on the adjustment screw. At the time I ordered there was a five week wait; I'm glad I waited.
Tony's paddles are among the most expensive on the market; they're worth it. They come in nine different versions with small differences including paddle spacing. The 9Z has the closest spacing, but you can choose a slightly wider option if you wish. Tony (N3ZN) was a pleasure to deal with, and even the shipping packaging was beyond professional. If you're looking for a top-of-the-line paddle, consider an N3ZN.
