TYR Crossblade Trainer

Intermediate-length natural-rubber blade between short and long fins, with thickened foot pockets and a no-slip heel grip on the 2.0 version. Aimed at leg tempo, speed and power.
The TYR Crossblade sits between short and long fins. Retailers' copies of TYR's description list an intermediate-length blade, 100% natural rubber, thickened foot pockets, and a no-slip heel grip on the 2.0 version, with the blade aimed at raising leg tempo and speed while keeping enough resistance to build leg power and technique. That makes it a fit for swimmers moving up from longer fins, or for teams equipping several athletes with one model. It is not a true short-blade technique fin like the Zoomers or Powerfin Pro, and swimmers with a latex allergy should note the natural-rubber build.
Pros
- Intermediate blade between short and long fins
- Natural rubber with thickened foot pockets (2.0)
- No-slip heel grip
Cons
- Not a short-blade technique fin; natural rubber contains latex
