Better fins: Twin Jet or X-Pert (Both splits)

[RonFrank]

When I was saying twins, I ment splits.

Actually in most tests I've seen the Apollo Bio is first...

The twin-jets were not in the top five of the Rondale test, and the X-PERT zooms came in at #5 behind the paddle velo's.

1st test
Apollo Bio-1st
Tusa-2nd

2nd Test
Twins-1st
Tusa-2nd

3rd Test

We'll get you set up... Just give me a shout. I was at Dema for the last few days, and all the email comes across my computer.... I didn't have time at dema to do responses... but give me a call and I'll get you set up.

Uh...you guys are using Rodales tests as valid criteria for judging fins? Yikes.

Anyone who says that splits perform better than stiff paddles for alternate kicks has never used them (back kicks, helicopters, frog-kicks etc.)

The biggest waste of money I ever made was when I bought a pair of Tusa X-pert Zooms (stiff ones in black) actually believing the marketing hype. Make me an offer.

And that's why I went and bought them today from Larry and Joe. Here is the story:

I brought another diver (Chris) from work who hadn't seen the new place. I gave him the $0.05 tour, and boy was he impressed. They have a round rack with maybe 50 misc. used rigs on them (1st/2nd stages, octos, gauges). Chris picked out the parts of the rack that he wanted (Dacor 1st, Eagle 2nd, Eagle Octo, Gauges, and BC inflator hose) for his wife, and they put it all togther for him while we looked at fins for me. He was very pleased with the price and service.

Not being sure what size I needed, one of the guys had me put on booties *exactly* like the ones I own, and fitted be with Sm/XS fins.

The only downside, was he actually sold me Med/Larges (must've grabbed the wrong bag by mistake). I'll try them on again tonight just to make sure they are too large. If they are, that's OK, as it gives me an excuse to go back tomorrow and see what else I can't live without.

I have Jet fins and Zooms (Black). I can do helicopters and frog-kicks with both. I haven't tried back kicks, but I will next time I wear the zooms.
