General Information on the Beavertail Mods
Our brand-new Beavertail edition of the Remeshoks features an elongated tail bead design that tapers towards the end. It is thick, robust, and rounded to provide a highly comfortable grip. We call them "Beavertails" not because they look exactly like a beaver's tail, but as a nod to the naming convention of long, narrow canoe paddles—partly because they slap with serious power (as you will soon find out), and of course, because they are proudly made in Canada.
They look sleek, but it’s not just about aesthetics. These elongated tail beads offer an unexpected functional benefit: they lock the tip of the paddle securely between your fingers. They are thin enough to slide easily through your fingers, but when tension is applied at an angle, the beads act like a lever. This effectively prevents the paddle from slipping out of your hands when you don't want it to, while absorbing and releasing tension during play to create a satisfying springiness.
Since the Beavertail beads are longer than any end beads we have released to date, we felt it was wise to shorten the connection section at both ends. For the new Beavertail edition, we have shortened the length to 16+2. The total length of each variant remains roughly the same.

These have a surprising heft to them after mainly using lighter materials (wood/delrin/acrylic). The weight on the beavertails really gives them momentum in the swings. The sandblasted finish offers a nice texture without being rough. The texture and the softer metal do show some wear and tear pretty quickly, but it does not impair the play at all. It gives it a nice worn look that I love. I find myself constantly reaching for this one.
My first set of chetki. Took me a couple of days to get the feel for them. I tend to have very dry hands and even the polished stuff likes to slip out. That being said this is a nice set. The color is amazing and weight feels good. Highly recommend!
My 2nd chetki and 1st metal. I love the weight of it. It is great for having that extra oomph to it but like Matt said, doesn’t hurt when using it if you’re a beginner like me. The beavertail ends are nice and easy to grab and the texture feels so much different but good different than i expected. It feels soft and smooth. The weight is great for bead counting and raindrops too!
Feels just perfect! I have a Delrin one with brass ends and 6 brass links added. It plays totally differently (i have some paddles and Delrin accents on the way to change that up) But this thing is destined to live in my pocket with my titans and my aluminum knuckle bone. As you say in the drop vid, the weight just feels so good, and the beavertails are dreamy. I have blue Padushka on to way, (i want yellow >>>will get that when avail<<<) so I imagine it will have some competition.
