Am seeing more sprint workouts using monofins and am wondering if the benefit is worth the $ investment. I have zero experience with a monofin - is there really a difference between using monofin and just regular fins? What are some typical training scenarios where you'd use a monofin instead? Anyone with personal experience for/against a monofin feel free to comment. Thanks!
Finis has the Foil Monofin which is made out of typical fin rubber. The other popular monofin is the Shooter, which is made out of fiberglass (I think). I have both, but recommend that you get the Foil to start with - it's cheaper and you don't feel like you are going to do damage to your lane mates. I only use the shooter alone (but wow can you move fast in that thing). I use monofins for better SDK's (primarily use them during kick sets). A former teammate of mine used the huge Trainer monofin to use during fly sets. Just give yourself a little extra time to get your finsox and the fins on during practice.
