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!
The speed you get from a fin, and the amount of force you need to use them, depends on the size of the blade and the stiffness of the blade. If two fins are the same material the larger one will be faster (on the same person) if you are strong enough to push them.
You can work your way up through a series of fins to build up your legs/glute/core to get ready for a monofin. Maybe you can borrow some fins from team mates to test them to see were you are at.
