Hello Again!
There seems to be quite a variety of vertical shock options on the
market as of late. I am quite familiar with the all-in-one foot designs
(Pathfinder, Freedom design, Flex-Foot option...) but am not quite so
versed when it comes to vertical shock options that are independent of
the foot. I have used the Harmony system with success, but my current
patient is content with his current expulsion valve suspension. What to
do?
I'd like honest opinions from the practitioners out there as to what you
have used in the past with and without success. He is a BKA, 5'4'',
very active and 250#. Please include component specs if possible
(vertical length is a concern). Please do not respond if you are a
manufacturer's employee. I am looking for as much unbiased info as
possible. I plan to post all responses for everyone's benefit (unless
you specifically ask me not to).
Sincerely,
Lisa Schoonmaker, CPO
