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

Same here, I had Newbery Grizzly ones and they were sooooo comfy! The straps were really really long though

I just mean they're a bit wide and obtrusive, but my SG pads have changed my mind a bit on this

I think it could partly be a comfort zone issue, I don't like batting in modern pads as I'm not used to it.

I have always felt that the issue is how the knees fit into the pads, if that is right the pads will fit regardless of style.

so gm or kook ones for me work well...
