Title: Time for new spikes?
Post by: Colesy on August 30, 2011, 06:45:07 PM
This weekend I noticed a sizeable split in the bottom of my Adidas spikes purchased this time last year so have only seen a season's use. Just wondering is it a common problem with this model and should I get them replaced?

I'm using Red's picture as mine has done the same thing, only slightly more.

Asics Joseph.....i had my old ones 2 seasons and a lad had them off me to use this year as well! Plenty of life left in them yet as well. Ben has the adidas ones i won and they seem ok but not as good as the advance 3's iv got!

Had my old adidas 4 years and are still fine. Had no issues with this years shoes either. This years shoe are about 80-90 grams lighter than the old model as well.

having the right sulking attire is imperative. I like a hoody to hide in and you need something to kick too like and old tennis ball...!

Sounds as though you've been doing far too much sulking recently Buzz... Not been having a good season?

I could score big, but if I get a bad decision/rotten piece of luck/play a bad shot I'm still prone to a sulk...


...just so happens that this year that has also been combined with low scoring :(
