FINA banned the shiny suits partially because they gave some people an unfair advantage.Then they turn around and OK adding the fins to the blocks.They supposedly make starts 0.2-0.4 faster.That is not a trivial amount especially in a 50.Being able to practice with them before a meet that has them is undoubtedly beneficial.Very few swimmers will have access to them on a regular basis.Is this fair,what say you?
My experience was identical to Greg's. Normally don't do a track start, but did last week due to the wedge and felt like it made a definite difference.
...I still beat you off the blocks. ;)
