Re: How I decided which new sculls to purchase

Yet why do these sculls feel so good?

And I take your point to extend mine: of course, if you have the opportunity to test, you should go with the equipment that feels best, whatever your level. What I meant was: things like sophisticated flow design and accurate stiffness numbers are not what should concern you and I.

There are no special fluid dynamics which apply only to elite scullers. If, for the sake of the discussion, we assume that what is advertised is real & not to some extent admixed with snake oil, then a sculler at any level must benefit. Surely you don't take the view that the more elderly a person is, the less alive & less ambitious they must be & so the less they need or deserve? When sliding off the increasingly steep roof of age, it matters more & more how strong & sharp are your fingernails.
