Wrist/forearm guard needed

[bigdaddy]

Can any one tell me where I can buy one of those padded wrist/forearm padded guards I see some people using?

Bell Athletics makes them but I don't think they're on their website. www.bellathletics.com

sweat bands work fine, thats what i use and my wrist is bruise free

you can use a small shinguard too, it works pretty well if you really need some protection.

what i like to do is wait a few weeks until your forearm gets used to it and then dont worry about it anymore, but you should do whatever gives you the most confidence running down the runway

I have a strong preference for size small (youth) football forearm pads. A couple of companies make them. Adams brand is my favorite. A year or so ago I did an internet search and I found a couple of places that sold them at a reasonable price.

Baseball batters forearm guard is made with a thin plastic embeded in the wrist band. it's light and comfortable, not bulky. The manufacture is Franklin or Rawlins and it comes in colors.

Forget soccer and football shin guards or pads.

Just block out like crazy and you won't need a wrist guard. Of course, you won't jump very high, either

The best forearm guards I have seen are sold by a gymnastics equipment supply company called GMR Gymnastics Supplies. Their website is www.ten-o.com. The forearm guard is called a "RIP Buster." Click to the Training Room-Wrist Supplies location on their web site to find the item. My daughter used to complain about forearm bruises, but not after she started using this piece of equipment.

Come on, everyone knows that that how high you jump is proportional to how big of a bend you get. How else are you gonna get that big bend without a big left arm!?!?!

A very well respected coach actually preaches that. Goes to show you that coaching success depends way more on the athlete than the coach.
