Well - you have a good point, but I would like to see your response if they tried to make dolphin kicks for backstroke illegal :)
(which one can make a pretty good argument for .. it has nothing to do with actually swimming backstroke)
Last I checked, swimming involved both kicking and pulling. :-P We don't all want to swim like John Smith.

The only rule for backstroke is that you have to be on your back. How is flutter kick inherently more backstroke-like than any other type of kick? It isn't, except in the minds of the "dolphin-deficient."
Work on your dolphin kick some more, your wife will thank you... :D
Agree with Chris - suits will not make much of a difference.

Well- What about allowing flip turns for *** and Fly while we are at it. This rule is so 30's and 40's
Do we know what the cost will be for these new B70s?
B70 has earned my business. They make an awesome product, it's reasonably priced (compared to others), and their customer service is excellent.
I'm sure the new B70 suits will be fast and they have built a bit of brand loyalty in the masters ranks. Although B70s were certainly evident in age-group and (from what I could tell) elite swimming, it seemed that masters swimmers seemed to lean pretty strongly towards B70s.
For men, I doubt there will be really any noticeable difference in performance between the best jammers. Variations in fit might be more important; the last FS-Pro jammers I bought fit horribly, I might as well have been wearing a practice suit on that last day in Indy. I imagine the quality of the suit and how it fits will remain pretty important for the women's suits.
And I hope B70's well-earned reputation for durability continues with the new line of suits; another huge factor.
I'm glad to see the tech suit manufacturers are moving into the post-2009 era. Hopefully masters swimming can (ahem) follow suit.
