I bought my first pair of Jet Fins in 1969 from Hal Watts. I have never been satisfied with any other fin design until I tried the Hollis Batfins (F1s). They are less negative than a jet fin, but they are a bit. Still, I don't seem to have a problem with them. There are two stand out features for me. The first is the comfort of the foot pocket. I have high arches and most other fins simply hurt. The softer material used in the F1 is simply awesome. Secondly, the fin tips are more flexible than most other fins and that makes certain kicks, like the back kick, far easier to accomplish. I can move easily from frog to flutter and have superb power and control. They are the best fin for me by a long shot.
