Do the bottles impede arm swing? I ordered and received the Nathan 4 speed, but found that my arms kept hitting the bottles.

I put them low on my hips so they do not impede with my arm swing at all. I have the two bottles only though.

I've been using this pack for several months, and the bottles haven't really impeded my arm swing. Once or twice I my elbow barely brushed against a bottle, but I may not have put it on straight, and it wasn't an impedance. I think if you get the correct size for you it shouldn't be a problem. I love this pack!

My arms do not. I am 5'4 , female and I haven't had an issue with the bottles hitting my arms

you've probably hit a rock or something hard. Look at the swinging arms really closely, one will be slightly bent. Size it up against a ruler, or something straight, and try to bend it back. it will reduce but probably not eliminate the problem.

Glen, my initial thought was no because the pouches are sort of oval-shaped to fit the bottles that come with the belt. However, I just tried it and it worked. I was easily able to slide a standard 16 oz water bottle in and out of the pouch. My only question is would my elbows be hitting it if I tried to run with it that way. The 16 oz water bottle stuck out considerably higher than the 8 oz bottle that comes with the belt. I added two pictures to my review to show you the 16 oz water bottle in one holster as compared to the fitletic bottle in the other holster.

No! That is absolutely NOT normal. It must have leaked (this happened to me once). Contact the company through amazon and they will send you a refund. They need to figure out a better way to ship these bottles to prevent leakage!!

Ms./Mr. Dricoll: I never had a problem with the handle sticking. I remember using it constantly (squeezing it multiple times with no problem). Be sure the bottle is inserted tightly, and it is full of liquid. If the bottle is low, the squeeze handle doesn't work smoothly. I hope this helps.

Paul, i have one and its scores perfectly (with a bit pf practice, of course) i cut all kinds of bottles -wine, liqueur, soda - but this is to score it not slice through. I have found that it matters on the quality of glass your scoring. Beer bottles are about the lowest quality of glass you can use. I can get maybe one bottle to score/cut properly for my uses out of far too many. And don't use that tap thingy. Just use the hot cold water 'stress' method and the results are very promising. Yet this all take practice and a good recycle bin in the interm.

It's not a problem. This device is based on the swing being that it is on the wrist. A club device would work better for face angle. You could try adjusting the face angle based on your swing analysis.

Well - the bottle tends to spin with the motion of the opener. You would need some way to secure the bottle so it wouldn't spin. If you did that, it could be done with one hand.

Unlikely. Most of the complaints have been from folks using something other than a Nathan bottle.

Yes, the Arm can swing Radially. To prevent it from ever tipping, you can clamp the base to side edge or back edge of your table with some $4.00 C-clamps. However, in my experience It hasn't ever tipped unless I swung it 180 degrees from the way it is pictured.

I have the model with the arms that lock on after you assemble. I have two bikes on mine and have had no issues with them slipping or moving. I was hesitant at first, but its worked great.

You will need bottles with the indentations for swing-top caps. Regular beer bottles won't work.

The arm does not actually swing. If it did, it would throw off the cantalever and the table would become unstable. The table top does swivel. I was kinda bumed about that myself. It is pretty nice though. No other product I researched was any more convenient. Maybe if they made the base round it could swivel.

I wear them on both arms I do not play BB but took a few swings this morning with no problems you can adjust the top and bottom bands to get the fit that works for you. Dont know if it will keep you from hyperextending.

That will be a tight fit. You'll need to find something to tap the bottle from the inside and the neck area might not have enough room for an object to fit in, swing and hit the inside of the neck.

I use this product on a BOB stroller. It doesn't swing when I run. I think this is because I use a hardened water bottle, which provides some rigidity. I don't recommend putting in solo cups or other flimsy plastic cups, it is hard to get them out and they tend not to be tall enough.

I don't know, but I will say that removing the sleeve on these bottles is a non-starter. Tried to do it to clean them. Nearly impossible to not rip it and if you do it goes back on loosely and never fits right again.
