Werner Paddles was officially awarded US Patent 6881111 for their Adjustable Ferrule System. The System changes feather angles from 0 to 90 degrees, left or right, in 15 degree increments. Unique to Werners design is an internal molded system that does not require extra tools to change angles and is protected from potential damage and wear.
Andy Bridge, Research and Development Director at Werner Paddles commented, “As with all new products the idea is to provide added value to the customer. Letting the customer experiment with different feather degrees to determine what works best for them is a huge value that makes their purchasing decision easier.” Bridge added, “Our design is so easy to use it made it all that more popular.”
“The concept of an adjustable ferrule has been around for a long time, but the response from our dealers and consumers on this design was so positive we decided to patent it.” commented Bruce Furrer, President at Werner Paddles. “Designing one that is light weight, functional, and easy to use is not as straight forward as one would think.” “Weve attempted adjustable ferrule designs in the past but never went to market with them.” Furrer added, “We attribute the success of this design to it being simple for the consumer to use and its elegance.” Furrer continues, “We are pleased to have been awarded this patent.”
Werner Paddles Adjustable Ferrule System is standard on all Performance and Premium Touring models.
