This is the 16mm version. The paddle is about a year old. I had three of them and rotated among the three for about a year. This paddle has a couple of minor marks on the face, and the edgegaurd is pretty scuffed but not significantly worn down. It does show where I put lead tape or tape on the edge gaurds, and there are a couple of places where I couldn't completely tear off the old edge guard tape, so a few pieces of it remain stuck on. Will a little persistence, it could be rubbed off.
