Wow! Never thought of getting rid of the drip rings. You're right, they don't work anyway.
Jack

At BodyBoatBlade (on Orcas Is, WA), they have hundreds of drip rings on a rope suspended at the back of the store.
It makes their attitude about drip rings obvious!

Besides the 'hang-up' problem, the rings are a very small additional swing weight out at the end of the paddle. Seems silly to spend hundred$ for a (bit) lighter paddle, and then put rubber weights on the shaft, I think.
