View Full Version : Shoulder Pads
Right now I have STX Chopper shoulder pads and the shoulder caps are so big that when I lift my elbow up to shoot/pass it pushes into my helmet. This is without the bicep pads on. I want shoulder pads that wouldn't do that, but still have a lot of protection.
I'm currently looking at these:

Which of these (or really any shoulder pads) have the most mobility and still lots of protection?

The most protective of the three would be the supercrosses but you do lose some mobility, the shoulder caps are large and drop down to below your armpit. You can't go wrong with the hitmen or the shoguns but I would go with the warriors because they cost less
Go with the Hitman 5.0's, I tried them and they are really nice- almost everyone on my team uses them. I have heard good things about the shoguns, but I have never tried them.

the hitman's are great...i would go with those...i've been playing for 3 years and those are the only one's i've ever used...fantastic once you take the bicep pads off.

you didn't list them, but i'd get gladiators. THey're almost exactly what your looking for.

o, if you still wanted the shoulder caps i would of suggested cutting them off
go with the hitmans or the mpg 3.0

why not just cut the top caps off? its cheaper then getting new ones, and if you dont like it, then you can still buy the ones you had.
