I have been using split fins and I have tried using a pair of AL Rockets a coupel of times now. The problem is that when I have a really hard time maintining horizontal trim then I use the Rockets.
When I flutter kick using the Rockets I tend to "node dive" on the down stroke. When I frog kick, I have a tendency to roll one directrion or another when bringing the fins back together.
I do not seem to have a problem during hte "power stroke" of these kicks and I certainly do not have these problems using my split fins. My normal split fins are SP Twin Jets.
Should I just "suck it up" and let my bouyancy/trim suffer while learning new muscle memory with the stiff fins, or is there a "intermediate" fin what may not be so devestating to my trim?
Maybe I should try surface swimming the rockets at a lake so that bouyancy is not involved while using splits when I dive (until I am more comfortable with a stiff blade).
I imagine you guys are all really comfortable with the stiff bladed fins, but maybe at least afew of you were once in the position I find myself in now.
