If you look down a shaft with a flu flu on it you will see how much wind resistance there is with that style of flu flu. With a full length spiral there are no air spaces through the feather. With a 3 fletch flu flu there is a space between each feather. Also the height of the flu flu will determine the resistanmce too. The taller the more resistance, shorter, less.

Hey Pat, I guess we really should clarify. I said full length because the link said full length. Looking at the picture, they are in fact probably only 6 inchers.

Yea, Mikes are shorter but fairly thickly bunched so they should slow the arrow down pretty fast.
  I have seen many types of flu flus . All are effective to one extent or another. I prefer the full length spiral because they work well for my use...plus you only use one feather! ;D
