  • I am not sure that a bunch of sprint free records will mean it's the suit.I think it is possible that this straight arm,ballistic entry style may be a real breakthrough.(But I agree with John,if everyone was in standard suits we'd know which was natural speed and which was fabric.) Fastskins are definitely faster. I noticed in Eamon's race that he really pulled away the second 25. I wonder if that's due to the momentum generated by the straight arm style? How close was his hand to his body on the insweep and pull?
