Yeah people keep referencing that study but you realize that it is a crap study if you actually look into it. Only way to really test the plate would be to create the exact shoe without the plate or different materials in place of the plate.
If it is all about the foam then why aren't people settings records in the Reebok Run Fast Pro, it has the exact same foam and is a lighter weight shoe. In a way it is the clean version of the VF4.
Does reebok even sponsor any runners who are capable of setting records?

- Any type of shoe used must be reasonably available to all in the spirit of the universality of athletics.
"Type" of shoe. Not: that exact shoe.
Shoes with foam and stiffening agents exist. Nothing to see here.

Linear compression = Force * distance.
Angular = Torque * omega.
Newtonian physics are how questions are addressed in biomechanics.
Is it bad that I've been more impressed with react foam over Zoom-X?

You mean in the Zoom Fly flyknit? There isn't many zoom fly sp's left and I've tried on ZFF with mixed views, initially doesn't feel firm/responsive like lunar in SPs

Just in general. I've tried the Vaporfly, peg turbo, zoom fly, zoom fly flyknit, and epic reacts...
I think the zoom fly flyknits and epic react flyknit are a better more responsive shoe from a foam perspective.
First, ignore the ZoomX React battle above. When's the release. Could it be this week?
