The recoils are certainly wide.

I only ever really look at things on the shelf though, I guess I can see how the ricochets would mould round your leg and become narrower

i have legs like big oak tees tho lol

I've been using the Uzisports Green Mambas - can't fault them.

and to be fair to simmy, if you bowl every ball at his pads he rarely gets a bat on it

My kookaburra Kahuna RP's seem to do the trick for a person of average height and thickish legs. Shame I seem to use them to hit the ball more than my bat  :(

Does anyone use, or have used Redback pads?
If so any thoughts on those would be appreciated.
Thanks

No, pumas aren't compact, or wide. Then tend to be narrow and tall in my experience.

Havve you tried the Bulldog or Saf ones? They sound like they would suit you mate, and probably cheaper than going off the rack with one of the big boys?
