Item Description
Ultimate Comfort and Energy Transfer: Competition Freediver Short Tendon Foot Pocket (New Product)
Experience unparalleled comfort and superior energy transfer with our Competition Freediver short tendon foot pocket. Engineered with compounds of varying stiffness, this foot pocket is designed to perfectly fit a wide range of bent (angled) blades, accommodating various rail profiles for optimal performance. We use a stiffer compound in the sole (to enhance energy transfer from the foot to the blade) and softer compounds elsewhere such as the heel cup and over the toes to ensure comfort.
Fully interchangeable, these foot pockets require no glue for installation, making them versatile and easy to use.
Enhanced Reactivity, Flexibility, and Efficiency
Our innovative design features short tendons that are optimized for use with fiberglass, and carbon fiber blades and fully showcase their reactivity and flexibility. The high-efficiency pocket design minimizes rubber content (and weight); maximizing the blade’s efficiency. This combination boosts maneuverability and responsiveness; ensuring every movement is smooth, powerful and effortless.
Short Rail vs Long (Standard) Rail Foot Pockets.
Choosing between short and standard tendon pockets depends on the specific needs and preferences of the diver.
SHORT TENDON FOOT POCKETS are ideal for freedivers and spearfishermen who prioritize agility, maneuverability, and efficiency. The reduced tendon length results in a lighter foot pocket and enhances the performance of whatever blade is selected. Note that this pocket is compatible with all our blades EXCEPT polymer fin blades.
Both the short and long tendon pockets do not require gluing. This makes it practical for a diver to easily interchange between different MAKO pockets/blades. Some other manufacturers require gluing, especially for short tendon pockets
STANDARD LONG TENDON FOOT POCKETS are best suited for divers who need more stability, support, and power. The longer tendon helps protect the blade from damage and abuse should contact be made with rocks or barnacles in the surf or very rough water. The longer tendons may be advantageous when fighting a large fish since they provide additional rigidity and help to limit excess blade flex under extreme conditions. Scuba divers who spend most of their time close to the bottom may also prefer standard pockets.
NOTE: Sold individually. The price above is for a single-foot pocket - choose a pair of foot pockets from the dropdown menu if you want two!
NOTE: MAKO Spearguns will sell just one fin if you ever lose a fin. Being so heavily invested in unmatched customer service, we are one of the few (perhaps only?) company that offer this.
