I'm thinking of buying these as a replacement for my green pads. Has anyone tried them? What are they like in terms of comfort/protection? I'm assuming they will be suitable for bowling speeds around 75-80mph

I have some SS Pads, I think they are a high-end model. They are very Comfy and offer top protection. I highly recommend them, so much so I am saving them for matches in the Summer, have some great Champ Pads I got off Bruce with the Same design which I am using for nets

Hey Johan, high do you reckon these Champ pads are compared to SS?

I think that the SS Pads would edge it, they are made from slightly better materials, but the Champs are very good quality, worth a go. Mine were samples I think, but they looked very SS or Newb GT-esque

Hope that answers the question, if not drop me a PM and we can discuss.

Thanks for the info. I was looking for colored pads and was offered some Champ ones.

If they are the same design as mine I think they are very good quality. I can get some pics of mine uploaded for you, I don't have much to do today, give me 10 minutes.

Not the best pics I know, but they do a job! Champ:

Sorry some of them were blurry - green mark is from the bowling machine yesterday haha

SS Pads:

Hope that helps you out mate, there isn't a lot of difference, the SS Pads edge it, but not by much!

They were good those Champ ones - you did well there Jo-Dog!

I know, really chuffed with them. They are hard to do up tightly I found, the only downside to them, and it's a small one. Just had to strap them on seriously quickly, but I am done in about 2 mins usually, including strippers, inners and an Ayrtek which I pump up as well

- were they one-off's or will they be the generic design, as I think they would sell very well (plus they were a steal at �20 posted!)
