Newbery SPS?

hawks are cracked up to be pretty good apparently!
Ayrteks look good
Salix, always liked them! (but dont think they fit me overly well as dont do small mens size!)

those would be my 4 choices!

Go with ayrteks i have only seen youths version of the pads! but they were nice, i am similar in pickiness with pads and my gt's were perfect fit for me at start of season, little too small now, but moving onto the sps to give them a crack!
