Ok guys...Im going from middie to attack. I just switched from some mpg 5.0 arm pads to some debeer pro lites. I did this because they have a much more comfortable feel, IMHO. The bad thing is...the are about an inch shorter protection wise...
So, here is my question. I'm a relatively new player(2nd year) and I was doing some research on some new arm pads. I searched through the forums and narrowed down 2 in particular that I am interested in. The brine supercrosse (oh yeah, whats the difference between an arm GUARD and a arm PAD) and the G-force's. So if you guys would be so kind, please gimme your opinoin on which I should get.
Things to take under consideration...
-How much protection?(length on arm and hit protection)
-Price
-....just those two mainly, other stuff would be greatly appreciated that I didnt mention
thanks

Arm pads tend to be shorter then arm guards.
G-forces are the best you can buy if you play offense and have the money. i suggest those. I play D, and im probally going to play LSM. I know a guy who lost his right GF, so im getting his left one(dominant right) they are comfortable, and flexible, with a lot of protection

Because they tend to be to bulky for me...and cut off some circulation.

So...You say the G-forces are pretty nice? Ok...and if I were to get the supercrosse get the Arm guards (since I like my wrists covered)?

yeah, get the G's if you have the cash. Also, AG tend to have more plastic stuff, Pads are usually made up of foam and other things, Guards usually have a plastic peice, and Sheilds are made of all plastic. The only sheild currently available is the Gforces

I have the G-forces. They are spendy and are out of production. Worth the money so get some now while you can.

I'm pretty sure you can customize them. I know Towson had yellow G-Forces (The outer part is yellow, the hard plastic is always black). That may be only available to them, but I'm not sure.
G-Forces are the way to go though if they fit you. They're amazing.
