I think the engineers were sitting there wondering how they could make fins more costly, so they came up with this.

I don't think three speeds are enough for maximum top speed and economy. They need a model with an overdrive.

I wouldn't want to wear it anywhere near line, with all those joints and protrusions, but I'd be curious to try it in open water conditions.

I, too, question how well it's going to work with a frog kick... or perhaps, a better way to state it would be: is there any point to this fin if you primarily frog kick?

I think they will feel much like the Mares Volos; in which I don't care for. I sold them dirt cheap just to get rid of them.

I played with them in the pool along with some atomic split fins, some Aqua Lung blades, and my quattros. He's my 2¢.

On the easy setting they still require more effort than the split fins. You can defenitely tell the difference between the easy setting & the harder settings. I was only swimming, no scuba, so I didn't do much frog kicking. Yes they frog kick fine. Probably not the best, but they worked for me in a limited test. I was more interested in comparing the feel of them to my quattros. I really didn't notice a snap from the bands, they are more just to adjust how stiff the blade was. I can't see changing the setting once you have the setting you like, but it was easy to do underwater without taking the fins off. Now I was in a shortie, so it may be a little harder in a drysuit.

All in all I liked the fins.

Not that I would lay out that kind of cash for fins but I would like to hear more about the technical aspects, the video just presents a basic overview

The ads in the Diving Magazines for this product has a couple they are from ecodivecenter in Culver City California. Nice people but slow when it comes to getting cert cards. It might of just been my instructor..

From what I've gathered they are an attempt to improve the rebound of the fin, to lead to greater efficiency from each kick - which has been done by force Fins for ages now. It may be an acknowledgement of some of Bob Evans' concepts, but rather indirectly.

They do look very cool though. For the record, I use FF Pros.
