Lobster Weight neck ballast

What is Lobster Weight neck ballast?

The Lobster Neck Weight is a modular weight system, ideal for distance diving in all dynamic disciplines in the pool. It is worn around the neck and its segments (the 'lobster tail') adapt to the shape of the spine. The shape of the Lobster Weight enables an optimised, streamlined body posture in the water, which automatically leads to longer diving distances. The weight can be individually adapted to the diver's buoyancy by means of adjustable back elements and can be changed within seconds.

Why can you continue diving with Lobster Weight?

Have you ever played darts? If you have thrown those plastic darts from children's darts sets and then throw a real professional dart for the first time, you will notice a decisive difference: the professional dart is heavy at the front, its centre of gravity is shifted forwards, which stabilises the trajectory and the dart flies into the target as if pulled by an invisible string.

You will feel the same effect when you take off your weight belt for the first time and put a Lobster Weight neck ballast on your neck: As if pulled by a string, you pull your lanes under water, your body becomes streamlined and because your muscles no longer have to constantly correct your swimming position, you have more energy and therefore oxygen for propulsion.

Without any effort, you will be able to increase your distance travelled by 20% or more with the Lobster neck weight compared to a weight belt. The effect is evident with DYN-B (Dynamic Bifins), pronounced with DYN (Dynamic Monofin) and even stronger with DNF (Dynamic No Fins). You will be amazed at how big the difference is and you will never want to do without your lobster weight again!

Is a Lobster Weight neck ballast comfortable to wear?

At the beginning, the weight of the lobster weight while standing upright at the edge of the pool may still feel a little unfamiliar on your shoulders. After a few training sessions, you will get used to the new feeling. When stretch diving in a horizontal position, the weight is evenly distributed on your neck and back and you will hardly feel it.
