Which arm pads should a lsm wear?

[VinelandHighLax]

should long stick middies where defensive armpads or like the middle ones which cover forearm, and elbow....I am wondering because i want to buy some new arm pads because are school ones are really uncomfortable i cant move in the stx exo. so should i go for the strictly defensive ones like players club for defense or the d sleeve, i might also be our starting lsm however

[tiplax]

all preference. and all LSL's have differnt play styles so we can't tell you

get brine lopro ap's or brine supercrosse slip-ons. they are mid-lengthened and offer great protection.

i played a little LSM in fallball last year. you can get a pair of Warrior MPG 4.5 arm pads (the short version) for 20 bucks or so. they're pretty comfortable and they're a lot more protective than most defense specific pad.

thats my thread. but i ended up using my bro's warrior 4.5's because they were free. im gonna get new ones over the summer

definitely the brine supercrosse slip ons..they dont slide at all and are very comfortable..they offer enough protection and they allow you to have a lot of movement..you should get them

Its up to you.
Do you want to sacrifice protection for mobility?
Get shorter pads; Supercrosse Eg's or Slip-on's, Lo Pro's etc

Need that extra protection?
Stick with longer pads then. Ones that cover a majority of your arm.

yea id say go for the brine lopros great protection and great mobility. seems like a perfect lsm elbow pad to me.

Brine lopro's.
I'm a short stick middie and I use them. SO NICE

What about STX K18 Arm Pads?
ive seen alot of LSM use those..

[Laxattack05]

yeah.. if you want protection and can deal with having alot of padding on your arms...

K-18's ALL THE WAY
