Max27 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 This sounds really weird I know, but in a game I had today, wasnt even an ice hockey game, it was a deck hockey game, and in warmups, i felt shots hit my legs. What I mean is that a shot would hit the pad and it felt like something had hit my actual calf. I never had this issue before. Does this mean the pads are breaking down? Should I invest in new pads? For whatever it is worth, the pads im using right now are CCM Eflex 2 760 leg pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wore my Koho 580s for 15 years (and beat the everliving hell out of them) and I never felt a shot the way you're describing. I wore those (and my current Keneskys) pretty tight, because I do like to 'feel' the shots. But the shot doesn't reverberate through my leg like you're describing. My mind goes more to your legs, and issues like shin splints and hairline fractures. Is it possible that you have a minor injury that would make your legs more sensitive to impact? That's all I can really suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I can really suggest. Yeah i tend to wear my pads tighter also, i broke them in a lot to make them really soft, and the front does have a lot of give on it to deaden the shots, which could be the culprit. They have softened up a lot since getting them. The thing that confuses me is I played 2 games td, 1 ice 1 deck, and i had no issues in the ice game like this, which makes me think it was just a weird way the shot reacted off of the pad, the shots were not really hard at all. My leg sits tight at the calf but it sits lower at the knee and i wear them a little looser now to let them hang in towards the 5 hole, so my pad isnt really directly behind the calf. I wear a top calf strap like a professor strap so the pads arent floppy, but like i said my pad really isnt directly behind the calf which confuses me more towards why i felt the shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
