Why the different name? When i bought these i was hopeing to get "rocket fins" im training for pararescue, and in the email it says they are called "promate spartan old school rubber fins" is there a difference?

I don't know why the different name! I'm also training for pararescue...been there before when I was 19. I believe these are the generic brand of the actual ones. The REAL rocket fins are by Aqualung but they cost about $30-$40 more. I have mine now and work great! Don't forget though to also get the proper mask they use in indoc. Its the Aqualung Atlantis ii mask! I had to reorder mine bc I got some cheap oval mask. You can get the real mask at shopnavyseals.com its cheaper than Aqualung website. Good luck training!

I ordered the Trident lp20 silicone grease and that's what I got, this picture is different from when i ordered. The trident grease is good i would recomend it though i dont use it for diving i use it on my airsoft pistols.

Had a blast with my son last weekend using this bottle launcher. We decided we want the fins, in part so we can attach the parachute too. Based on the design, the fins should fit no problem, but wont know for sure until later in the week. I can update then.

Not sure of the difference between the two but the one we bought is very flexible. We have 200lb. divers jumping off and it is very flexible.

Hi - I responded to your question about your fin support in February. Please see my updated review on the water rocket, dated 4/18/2014 (if they publish it). If not, notify me and I'll send you a spare fin support part the company sent to me. Jim

This fin is not a match for the description you gave. Same look, different size.

My arrows came with the straight Blazer vanes (the short ones), nothing like the Quick Spins which I've used in the past but came back to Blazers. The quickspins have drag and reduce your fps. They were supposed to be more accurate, But I couldn't really notice any difference. You always get some spin, but these vanes are not what contributes to that.

100% Yes..short fins, like the yellow zoomers, are the appropriate fins for beginners to elite to use for technique drilling. I am a USA Triathlon Certified Coach, a USA Triathlon Junior Youth Certified Coach and a Total Immersion Level 2 Swim Instructor....my students use these fins for our drill sets and our kicking sets.

Fit, yes. Stay on while swimming? Probably not. Get cracked in a couple of uses? Most likely. Get the rubber one by finis. It's called the Foil monofin & beware that the XS is super narrow, so just get the size small Finis Foil. And if you want a mermaid looking rubber fin for about triple the price get a merfin in orange or blue.

what about trying Canine Pet Compression Wear Sleeve Foreleg Hind Leg By MyProSupports I was reading your product question and I thought maybe these might help or maybe leg warmers. Also a company called Hangar works with making custom braces,guards and prosthetics for people,but they also donated time and money for a dolphin with no tail..they made her one . It's a movie I believe .Anyways ask to talk to 1 of thier desighner and see what happens . Please let me know how it works out.

Here on Amazon there appear to be stubbier ones for sale, which I didn't enjoy using in my ULTRA model... the picture here looks like longer sponges that I need for the Ultra... I'm buying them today because they look like the right size.

I searched for the asin , I could not find it , But ...KK traineras that are priced at 329 are the Kinetic Road machine Fluid trainers , it has the same frame, same color, but a different resistance unit, so its really not the same.

Well we got one stuck up in a tree, so I would guess it's because they are foam and will wear out. When I opened mine, one of the rockets had to immediately go into the garbage because one of the fins was broken off

I didn't realize there was a difference. I just ordered the same ones that came with the new aid's. I may try the closed next time if what the Pamela South answer says is true. Good luck! Rodney G.

No idea... Sorry. I choose these ones and I am still super happy with them, I got them over a yr now and I still use them at least twice a week with my fins. Quality is awesome and they look like new. But I rinse 'm off in the sink with fresh water after every use....

Nita, I would be cautious in purchasing these since, of the different versions, from different companies, I purchased, these were the only ones that would not stay on my shoes (toe doesn't have anything securing it) Stablicer run cleats are bolts and quite heavy, but the Stablicer with the little nubs on the bottom got me through last icy winter without failing and no slipping. Original Yaktrax are a good product for occasional use, but the rubber you are running/walking on will fail with much use (same for the heel area of these you are considering). Stablicer Run are excellent, but a handful of bolts-weight on each shoe!

No experience with the foam fins, but very happy with "zoomers." My sense is that they will last as long as I will be able to get in the water with them!
