Post by: WALSHY on July 25, 2009, 11:01:25 AM

I starting to think about just getting some new pads mate.

Title: Re: Cutting Pads.
Post by: Jord030994 on July 25, 2009, 11:04:03 AM

Oh right - What pads sit that low though ... At the moment I've just snapped the canes in mine, and do the bottom strap really loose - still looks pretty good.

Post by: WALSHY on July 26, 2009, 02:28:00 AM

Yea Probs just some Kookaburra.

why do u all care so much about the way u wear ur pads?

Title: Re: Cutting Pads.
Post by: WALSHY on July 26, 2009, 07:56:44 AM

I flick off my feet a lot and sometimes get hit on my feet.

Title: Re: Cutting Pads.
Post by: stubbzy on July 26, 2009, 09:41:56 AM

its important to feel comfortable when your batting, if snapping the canes makes you feel better then fair enough, i personally dont feel the need, wearing the bottom strap loose does the job for me on my newbery sps 2's

Cool.

Post by: Master-Basterd on July 26, 2009, 11:30:33 AM

I wear my osm kookaburra kahuna pontings very low, only about 4 inches of my boot showing, i snapped the canes in them and loosen the strap. very comfy.

Post by: Bernz on July 26, 2009, 11:34:56 AM

i dont do it for comfort i do it as it looks good, however can hinder my running as appose to when they arw done up tight i can run faster but its more improtant to look good to me anyway ;)

Title: Re: Cutting Pads.
Post by: Coach on August 31, 2009, 07:01:26 AM

So you would rather look good than score runs? Easiest way to look good is be successful!

Title: Re: Cutting Pads.
Post by: golders on December 22, 2010, 06:42:58 PM

whats good about having pads that sit low?isnt  bit silly?

Title: Re: Cutting Pads.
Post by: alexrickyponting on December 23, 2010, 09:00:44 AM

i tried mine low in nets once but they just felt weird and i could feel them rubbing on my feet and restricting movement of my feet.
its all personal preference but imo you just look like a tit with pads that are too big on really

Title: Re: Cutting Pads.
Post by: tugga_5 on December 24, 2010, 10:52:50 PM

I find that when I wear the bottom strap of my pads very loosely, thus making them sit low on my foot, it makes them feel a lot lighter and more comfortable.

Should have just asked for a new pair from Santa!
