New Hockey fin

So perhaps the members of this board can help. I am working on coming up with a name for the above fin. So I am looking for recommendations. So far, we have the unoriginal, Hockey Force Fin, there have been a few other suggestions but, I figured if people on here liked it, then it must be good. So bring them on. If there are multiple good ones, I'll probably start a poll and get votes to see what is most popular.

Same goes for me, Paul from the Netherlands. I can get the national team to try them out at one of the training sessions. This way both men and women elite can give them a try and you will receive a lot of feedback on the fins.

For names:
ForceFin WaterRunners
ForceFin Speedy's
ForceFin Hockey-subs
ForceFin Subs (like under water )
ForceFin Fantastics
ForceFin Myths
ForceFin Feelers
ForceFin SOTA's (State Of The Art)

Keep it cool...

Ciao!

thanks for all the comments. I wanted to provide an update. At this point Force Fin is working 2 models of the fin. One version is a much more polished version of the one that you have seen here, the second version is about 2 inches shorter. I believe the shorter fin will make it even better for forwards that need absolute maneuverability while sacrificing a little speed. I have found in testing that the shorter fin is much faster in a 10 meter sprint, by about 1/2 a body length, but by the end of 25meters the longer fin wins out by about an arms length.

As far as getting them out for testing. well, Force Fin is still working the production molds, they is getting very close. I am hoping to have both the final versions and correct sizes by the end of march and then I will be putting them both through their paces. Then I'll be sending them out to testing by others. At this point I have a couple of people in mind, but once I get feedback from them we'll be looking for a wider audience. I don't know when they will be widely available, but I am still hopeful that production can start by early summer.

Too bad we won't have them for Portugal. But still looking forward to see one and try one on...

If you'd like someone from SA to test them, i'd be happy to send a pair around to our Elite Men and Masters men to have a swim with them and voice their opinions...

We have quite a variety of fins been used at the moment, Breir, Ala's, Quattro's, leaders as well as the UW Rugby fin and a whole lot other's that local dive companies have distributed, but they're not suitable for the Elite men and ladies...

at this point I don't even have a final version of the fin. I the molds are nearly done, but they aren't complete yet. couple more weeks.

I appreciate all the offers to test them. While I want to get a couple of pairs on the circuit, I have yet to get a final version of the fin and run them through their paces before I am willing to send them out to people. I will warn a couple of things about these fins. They are nothing like other, more conventional fins. To be honest, they feel ridiculously floppy, they pivot away from your toes which as you can imagine feels incredible weird. As I have already said, they have some other really great benefits. The problem of course is that first impressions of them are terrible, they require quite some time of use to adjust to them and really gain all the benefits of them. I am hoping that everyone can get other the first impressions and not write them off without due process. Of course I have some concern with the use of the heel strap, but I don't think that will be too much an issue, as there aren't any dangerous parts protruding,
