Details
This tutorial helps players select and use arm pads effectively. Arm pads provide cushioning on the forearms and elbows, especially during slides or rapid transitions into low positions. Players compare thin, flexible pads for maximum mobility versus thicker models offering additional protection.
Proper fit is essential. Pads should be snug without restricting blood flow or creating pressure points. Players test fit by extending the arm fully, bending the elbow sharply, and rotating the wrist. If the pad slides downward or rotates, adjustments are needed or a different size may be more appropriate.
The guide explains how moisture and sweat can cause pads to shift, and recommends choosing materials with stretch panels or silicone grip strips to maintain stability.
Routine drying and cleaning extend pad lifespan and reduce odor buildup.
Well fitted arm pads improve comfort and provide dependable coverage during physical movement.
