just received some new pds today and they feel a little stiff for my liking and think i prefer my old ones, do the new pads need time to break in? whats your thoughts peeps

i currently wear the M&H distinction pads which IMO are a class fit, and have recently got the Gray Nics legends

thanks

As much as I hate to admit he's right.....

Dave (procricket) told me to soak them totally in a bath of cold water for 5mins, and then tie them up as tight as you can (or wear them) and let them dry for a couple of days

Worked a dream mate

i would say to break them in try them on try running in them and tighten the straps as much as you in the areas that dont feel right

Yes, pads require breaking in especially when new because they are stiff.

Best way is to wear them around, run etc or sleep in them thats what I once did worked well for me and had a great night too!

Its cold water mate, not acid

Works totally fine and just softens them up, nothing else fella

i dont think i could get away with sleeping in them haha, my girlfriend thinks im cricket mad as it is.........

im wondering if its just the pads tbh, maybe i should just stick to the M&H's???

anyone else got any thoughts on the Legend pads?

[100 not out]

Mikey if it's not broke don't fix it. Two options
1 stick with the m and h's
2 give the new pads to a youngster in the club to do the wearing in for u.

Gray Nicolls Legend pads ? I did a review on them, I can share the link if you want me to.

I didn't post the review on CBF because of some people who love talking sh!t

[Canners]

please that would be great

The M&H pads do have the split knew roll which will make them looser. But your new pads will get looser in a few innings.

I just did the straps up as tight as I could and then tied string around the top hat. Worked a treat!

I did this on my Legend pads because you had recommended it.

So one thing I see now is that the strings on the face outside have turned brownish, did this happen with yours as well ?
