The never tried it was actually intended for Todd. And it was to have a team set up where one guy just does breakaways. But you can set up the same sort of thing with a good pair of Twarons. Although you can still turn slow or in big circles, it is much more difficult and forces your style of play to be more of a forward only style. It wouldn't be quite as limiting as a monfin, but it gets close.
I still think Alas are the better hockey fins as they give you good power, speed and manuevering. And in all the times I have been hit with them, the only time it hurts is when there is a heel on the other side of the rubber that makes contact with you. The plastic fins feel like the nun whacked you with a ruler, using the narrow edge. I'll continue to voice my opposition to using non-rubber foot weapons but I wouldn't stop the game for it. I think in time people will get rid of them. All it will take is a couple of key slices that take players out of games. Or maybe a ref getting whacked. Any takers? Simon?
