I'd also argue that getting rid of the boot strap has done wonders for people's ankle, knees, and hips in terms of an anchor point (I won't claim anything about injury, no way to ethically test that). I'm loving the connected feel of the FRS sans boot strap. Open feel where it matters, connected/tight so you can feel the movement in the pad. I've been on a similar journey of getting continuously stiffer on my pads, and "loosening" them, but loose to me is pretty different when I used to crank down leather straps back in the day. I could never do a glove without a wrist strap unless the rest of it death gripped me in, my hands are far too dainty. I'm more and more interested in the FRS strap. It sounds like True has found the best of both worlds there. You ever tried a warrior glove? Coop and I can tell you just how wonderful they are. We thinking about writtng a song about them. But seriously, I have the dainty hands thing too and yes, I have the warrior's hand strap" is stupid tight, but it works. No slipping, great catching. An intermediate liner would do even better at this so there's great potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't found the exact happy medium I'm looking for in them, but I do like them. 1 hour ago, coopaloop1234 said: Just need more "wrist" exercises. Nah, I've got tendinitis, so even that sucks. Lacrosse in high school cooked my hands, as did hockey and being the guy running the oven at a pizza place, and working with microelectronics under a microscope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
