Split fins are your fast expensive sports cars that go fast have high rpm's w/e.

Paddle fins are your big F350 or your semi truck, they are able to pull huge loads, and have alot of power, but they cant/arnt engineered to go as fast as that sports car, but again splits being a fast car, cant pull that big load that the truck can

beautiful analogy! i'll use that one next time some one asks!

A fair analogy, except that many folks regard paddle fins as also being more agile than splits.

I said that farther in my post MSilvia

But to make it work with my analogy, paddle fins are like a bulldozer, they can turn on a dime by reversing one tread
