	I flip over and miss braces and rolls a lot if I switch to any paddle with a different feather angle than I'm used to. I used to have one paddle for play at zero degree and a cheaper one for creeking abuse at 30 degrees. I'd often flip coming into eddies, and all over the place for the first hour of paddle after I switched from one to the other. Now I just use zero for everything. ANYWAY, It may have more to do with a feather angle change than the bent shaft. Either way, give it some time and you should get used to it. Hope that helps a bit. Stephen
