Was thinking about like the Boom Boom pads, how they are a fairly modern design. I much prefer the canes like the Newbery pads or Kookaburra.. Is that just me who thinks like that? Or do people prefer the other newer ones?

[Vulcan Cricket]

i like traditional pads my self but you see a lot wearing the puma boom boom style pads same with gloves

[jimster]

I prefer the old style, just complete canes. my current pads have all caned except at the knee roll where it is the new style

I find the fitting and moulding better on traditional as opposed to moderns.

Which Boom Boom interest you? I had Signature 175.

BoomBoom ones look horrible!

[SOULMAN1012]

They are just not nice (sorry to those who like them) Traditional pads every time

[procricket]

Both love both at a toss up possibly traditional

I have the GM RSB's, I like what they have to offer in light weight protection.  Having said that, nothing fits like traditional pads, modern pads tend to be a bit stiff.

GN Legends are the perfect compromise imo. Love the look of those.

My legends were great but a tad bulky the back strap was slightly to high as well on the 2011 in my opinion creating a bulge at either side of the knee

Bit of a pads spotter sorry

IMO Traditional ones look quality but are a pain to bat in, whereas modern ones don't look as good but are much easier to bat in

I think your spot on!

Those BoomBoom ones are awful! The red BoomBoom ones look fairly traditional though

never had any issues batting in traditional pads, what problems do you have?
