Personally I find the yellow and black omega touch pads to be extremely grippy and superb for turning against, much better than most pool walls. The colorado touch pads are more slippery and I agree that this makes *** and fly turns more difficult if they're at both ends. I'd expect there to be touch pads at both ends to record splits every 50m.
I've never seen touch pads mounted any way other than with the top well above the level of the water, like you see in major non-Masters competitions.
