Never saw so many Jaked's

I guess this is the best choice of approved suits based on what I saw at Nationals. Where is the US dealer network?

  • Unless their names are Cullen Jones or Dara Torres, both of whom were pretty significantly faster in the 50 free in LZRs than in Jakeds. Interesting how, if Phleps goes 49.5 or thereabouts wearing a Jaked, you'll attribute it entirely to the suit. Do you think he was fully tapered for that 50.2? Or that faster competition at Worlds might not push him a little bit faster? Of course, any new sprint-oriented training he might be doing nowadays has no effect. If you saw Cullen's race in prelime he did wear a Jaked...and lost what I would guess to be at least .2 on the blown finish..maybe more. Dara wore the Jaked in the finals I watched... www.swimnetwork.com/.../nationals_women_s_50m_free_a_final-16825.html Not sure why you continue to play the skeptic on what these suits do Chris as you have been around the sport for a long time and have first hand experiance with them...and 'm sure you've spoken with a number of folks competing at this level and have heard there stories. Lump...Speedo already opened the door so to speak on this subject so its not speculation.
