Please may we see a photo of up to date Force Hockey Fins? I googled, but got other brands, not the brand being reviewed here.

As the comment was coming from a fan, @tridacna, I can't see the reason for your venomous reply. I often think the very same thing. I bought some FF Pros during your wide distribution era for about 60 or 70 dollars. They were not right for me, but I kept an open mind. I tried your Excellerating Force Fins and posted my review Excellerating Force Fins vs. Dive Rite XTs. If you leave the scuba fin business, only your fans would miss you.
Thanks for confirmation Bob. Wow.

But what is “Hockey” about them. They look like they have a grill edge to end of Fin. They are narrower, don’t have the split tail type tip.

They are called Hockey Fins because they were originally designed for one of Bob’s friends to use when playing underwater hockey. I believe he was using Excellerators (maybe with whiskers) and other competors complained that they had “sharp edges” but really they were just too fast.
Bob had wanted to develop a fin to compete directly with Jets, hence this design. The original models were made with a compound that outperforms the Tan Delta material. Unfortunately these were hand poured and the material was not compatible to the automated equipment now being used. These fins will do all the kicks.
If you can find the U Tube video of this material, you will see how amazing it is.
