[drwindsurf]

Thank you!
This is a simple straight forward guide.
I wish a video like this existed when my son started to play goal.
Fantastic!

Hi I am 5'2" I have a atk of 15.5. A skate size of 7. A 31" pad should fit perfectly but I want growing room so do you think that a 32" pad should work?

[horacesilver]

I have those exact same pads! I've just starting learning how to do a butterfly slide and t-pushing. Are those pads decent enough for sliding compared to newer pads from all the makers? Maybe I'm just not that good yet ;)

Cheers!

Can u do a video of how to do the boot strap for ball hockey pads

[JinxDClown]

if the top of my thigh risers do not come into contact, could this be a sizing issue?

[PhatChris]

I just done what you said with sizing... my skates are a 7, ankle to knee 16.5 and knee to center of thigh was 8.5.  So adding that up you get 32 inches.  Whereas i am whering a 35+1

So how do you adjust for youth skate sizes?

What does he mean outside or inside of snug?

[treker]

I have a new pair of V5 pads. Always played with old style before hybrid pads. I have had strains in both knees (nothing serious) since i started using these pads. The sizing is correct but the old style pads were always strapped very snug. I left the top of the new pads loose but snugged up the lower straps. My leg was fighting the pads and twisting my knee. The pad wanted to go into butterfly but because they were too tight, they were not allowed to rotate. So when I get back on ice, I will be loosening these pads up hoping for an injury free result.

How would you find the sis for street hockey? Same way?

hi is there anyway to make the straps longer because the middle one wont click in like the other two

[harleyshellhammer]

I don't understand the pad sizes being used. I've always had custom pads but looking into buying my first new set of pads in a "long time" as stock pads. My old pads were custom Vaughn's, 34" but that's total pad. I'm looking to buy the Rebook Premier X24. My measurements are, 12 skate, 18 2tk, and 7 mid thigh for a total of, 37". I'm 5'9+. According to Rebooks measurements, I'm 20" from ground to mid knee so I should wear a 33" pad.  Rebook has +1, 2, 3 on top of the size. My question is, is the size they're giving measured only to my knee and the + number is from the knee to the thigh? Thank You

[alexthebassist]

my leg pads touch the ice when I am in a standing position, making it almost impossible to have a wide stance due to the pad forcing the skate off of the ice, is there anything i can do to stop this? I have only recently started playing the position and live in UK where it is not easy to fit pads :(

[joacimunicorn]

It's a 34" pad with 2 extra inches above the knee

BEst - how to vid - for leg pads thanks!

[Mikadoo]

I'm 6', skate size 10, atk 18, knee to center thigh is 10. By your measurements I'm 38". That doesn't sound correct. What size would you recommend?

[BlueSkyeDays.]

It doesn't work for females. My skate size is 4 ATK is 15 and mid thigh is 6 = 25. I bought 27 inch pads and they are way too small. They are my first leg pads and now i have no idea what to buy. I'm 5'5".
