New York Set of 4 Springs for Contrology
At first glance, the Contrology Reformer springs all look the same. The "bodies" of the springs (the twisted, spiral part), the width and the length all look the same. The big difference is in the hooks.
The standard Contrology Reformer spring has a shorter open hook on one end and a longer "long neck" hook on the other end. The "long neck" hook adds approximately 25mm (1") to the overall length of the spring. The "long neck" hook on the standard Contrology Reformer spring provides some smoothness as the carriage starts to move and returns to its starting position.
Work was done with Kathi Ross-Nash on the New York Pilates Reformer Springs to recreate the original springs she used in her training with Romana. The New York Pilates Reformer Springs have shorter hooks on both ends. The shorter hooks ensure that the transition from tight springs to loose springs is quicker, resulting in a subtle but distinctive feel.
The Contrology Reformers have a spring mount attached to the carriage that needs to be adjusted to accommodate the New York Pilates Reformer springs.
