I have tyr burner. Most comfortable. Good power. Also own finnis zoomer fit. good fit. Very light, more power than burner''s. Recently purchased positive drive fins. To try something different. PDF have least power. Which I like. Not on lazy day, workout becomes less fun and more work. Excellent for body rotation. You can experience the body rotation. So
High motivation day = finnis PDF
Medium Motivation day = tyr burner
low motivation day = Zoomer fit. (Will get you thru the workout)

These fins make me feel like I am slicing right through the water! I haven''t had much luck using them for breaststroke but I''m not great at that stroke anyway so that could just be user error. They are fabulous for all of the other strokes though!! A little kick goes a long way!!

My daughter and I lap swim every day in three styles(breast, free and backstroke) and with our new fins, we are working muscles that did not work before and doing a better workout of the ones we did. My shoulders do not hurt anymore as before so it really helped me!
What surprised me was that many people in the swim department had never seen them before, I had introduced the fins to them now!
Love them!

Have had regular fins for five years, using them in my Endless Pool. Switched to new powerdrive fins and used them for my full 50 minute workout the first day. These fins are excellent and so much nicer to use then regular ones.

I always had a "clunk-clunk" two or 3 beat freestyle kick.  Turns out my feet were canted outwards, but these fins made my toes turn inwards.  Amazing.  I can now do a 6-beat kick!

I got this set of fins to work on my fly/ dolphin kick endurance. Finis says that they cant the feet slightly inward, maximizing propulsion. I would say this is true. While these fins are on I defiantly feel new muscles being engaged that are not being used without them.
Finis also calls these "the breast stroke fins." I thought this was too good to be true, and in reality, it is. There is a reason that these are the only "breast stroke" fins I found on the market. The breast stroke kick just does not work well with fins. Also, Finis says that these fins give good propulsion, but that you won''t feel lost without them. I''d have to disagree here. I do a lot of underwater swimming, 25-50 yards. When I do 5 sets with the fins and then take them off for another 5 sets, I feel lost without them. But this speaks to the great propulsion that these fins provide. You will be amazed at how much drive they give the fly kick!
For long sets or for fly training, these fins are great. Just don''t buy them thinking they are "breast stroke" fins. Sadly, breast stroke fins don''t exist.

Great fit. Easy to get on and off.  Good for all strokes.

Use for swimming laps and they are perfect.

These fins are wonderful doing resistance training in the pool.  They are very easy to get on and off in the water, can easily alternate with walking and aerobic exercises and beat traditional fins hands down. I really like these fins!
