         7 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 the paddle having a core.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 the paddle having graphics.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 the paddle having an edge guard.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 the paddle having a pallet.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 each of the plurality of stabilizing features having an edge guard surface on the outer side.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 each of the plurality of stabilizing features extending from a first end at a front surface of the paddle to a second surface at a rear surface of the paddle.   
     
     
         13 . Stabilization features for a paddle system, comprising:
 A paddle system, comprising:   an end cap;
 the end cap extending a length from a first end to a second end between sides; 
 the end cap having an exterior surface and an interior surface; 
   a handle;
 the handle extending a length from a first end to a second end; 
 the handle having an exterior surface; 
   a paddle;
 the paddle extending a length from a first end to a second; 
 the paddle having a front surface; 
   a plurality of stabilizing features;
 each of the plurality of stabilizing features extending a length from a first end to a second end; 
   wherein the plurality of stabilization features cause an airflow to move through the plurality of stabilization features when the paddle system is in use;   wherein the airflow moving through the plurality of stabilization features causes the paddle system to stabilize and allows a user to move the paddle system more swiftly through the air.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 the handle having a grip.   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 a damper.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 a pallet.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 the paddle having opposing sides;   the paddle having a rear surface;   the paddle having graphics.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 the paddle having an edge guard;   the paddle having a pallet;   the paddle having a plurality of perforations through paddle, the plurality of perforations allowing air to move through the paddle rather than around the paddle.   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 each of the plurality of stabilizing features having an edge guard surface on the outer side;   each of the plurality of stabilizing features extending from a first end at a front surface of the paddle to a second surface at a rear surface of the paddle.   
     
     
         20 . A method of improved aerodynamics of a paddle; comprising the steps:
 providing a paddle system having a plurality of stabilization features; the paddle having a handle and at least one hitting surface; wherein the plurality of stabilization features are located along opposing sides in approximate parallel spaced relations; wherein the plurality of stabilization features are located along an edge guard;   swinging the paddle through the air causing an airflow to move through the plurality of stabilization features; wherein the airflow flows through the plurality of stabilization features, allowing the paddle system to more easily move through the air.
