Suede-handled greenish fir paddle

Examine

Fashioned of greenish fir, the paddle has a large round surface and a firm handle wrapped in suede. A tiny tack in the center has a white string attached to it, which in turn is connected to a small yellow ball.

You analyze your greenish fir paddle and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

You get no sense of whether or not the paddle may be further lightened.

Messaging

You balance the yellow ball attached to your greenish fir paddle on its smooth, flat surface for a brief moment before gently flicking it upward. The ball launches into the air but is tugged back to the surface by the securing string.
