X-Shots

[medic29]

I'm considering the X-Shot fins and was wandering if anyone had them and could give some feedback. Also can someone advise as to their length. Would like to travel with them if possible. Thanks

I've got a pair and am quite fond of them. I don't know their exact length...but I imagine they are about the same as any other recreational fin. They are the exact same length as my Scubapro Seawing Novas. They give me plenty of power in both flutter kick and frog kick mode. I've used them in some decent currents in the Flower Gardens National Marine Sanctuary off the coast of Texas and in Cozumel. The spring straps are very secure. I own 9 pair of different fins and they are in the top 3 of my favorites.

I'm also curious about what people think of this pair of fins. It's on my list of: interested/want to see it/wish to try it list.

I recently purchased the FX shot fins and they're great. A local dive shop let me try them before buying them and they're comfortable, move easily with my leg motions of various kicks and don't hurt my feet or ankles. They feel like a lot of power for minimal effort which is nice. I'm looking forward to logging a lot of dives with them!

I picked up a pair of these and am yet to use them, but they are much lighter than I was expecting, and feel great on.

Out of curiosity, what other ones are in your top 3? Cheers.

I bought x-shots and got one summer of diving out of them before the outside rib cracked. I have better luck with mares.

I have a pair of X-shots. They also cracked along the rib on both fins. I've sent them back and AL has sent me a new pair. AL is aware of the problem and is standing behind the fins. Hopefully, they have solved the cracking issue. Other than the cracking issue, I really love the fins, they are light and provide plenty of thrust for my needs. I really love the spring straps, makes it real easy on and off. If the cracking problem is solved they are a great fin.
