Champion Sports Multi-Sport Net Pitch Back Screen Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Champion Sports Multi-Sport Net Pitch Back Screen is a nice heavy duty piece of equipment. I had a pitch back when I was a kid, but it was not nearly this nice. I like the fact that you can kick a soccer ball on the ground and it will pop up back to you so that you don't have to bend over.

FINIS Lap Track Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Where to start with this almost useless product.

Let's start with the programming:

- Metric support is in meters. Fine if you have a metric pool. But your choice for English system is MILES. Miles, really? Gee, my pool is 25 YARDS long. So I am forced to use meters for really no apparent reason. And the difference matters on long swims.

- Getting the timer into a mode to count laps and time (why I bought it) is quite confusing and non-intuitive, and I am an engineer. The unit has a lot of features but all I really need are:
* Count laps and split times (maybe count down laps when I am doing a specific distance.)
* Let me setup workouts with rest periods.

Now I can do the first 2 with this timer, but doing it is difficult, especially once the unit is submerged (using it is worse). I can't do the 3rd (sets with rest periods). It's a hell of a lot easier with my cheap Timex watch.

Now for the mechanicals, which is MUCH worse:

- The unit won't stick to the wall of any pool I swim in (3 different ones tried). I've tried all the attachments including the bracket. With the bracket it floats up even with a significant weight on it. Useless. During every swim I have found the unit off the wall.
I took to putting it on deck and using open turns and tapping it. That *might* be ok if not for the next issue.

- The unit frequently double counts when tapped during a swim. Come on, Finis. Put a little smarts in your software. Debouncing is embedded programming 101. If a 50 meter lap takes 2-3 seconds instead of 40, chances are it is a double bounce. It's not rocket science.

I'm giving up on it and going back to a watch. I think a decent in-pool timer can be designed, but this is not it.

FINIS Swimmer's Snorkel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to help me speed up my swim training by allowing me to work my muscles more without running out of breath. It works great, and is really letting my get in better workouts. I have only two minor complaints. It should come with a nose clip, as it is nearly impossible to inhale without getting at least a little water up your nose, I suggest buying one with the snorkel. Also, the plastic of the snorkel becomes pretty soft if exposed to heat, which can cause the snorkel to bend. Make sure you don't leave the snorkel in your car on any warm day, or it will almost definitely be twisted or curved, and is very difficult to get back to its original shape.
