Honestly indoor 'studs' are the best. When somebody stamps on your foot, it feels like a cushion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Go try and sprint and cut on grass in those and you might find out why they aren't the "best" for anything except for indoor surfaces

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Ice skates on ice...That's a better solution.

Hmmm, what are the odds these lead to more ankle injuries instead?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yes. The article says that only the studs under the big toe and the heel have the ball bearings.

But if you're playing on hard ground, when you pivot on either your toes or heel, the only point of contact with he ground will be a ball bearing.

Imagine how many ex-5-a-sides players will aim to sue Adidas, Puma and Nike.

Interesting idea. Would the ball bearing still work once a bit of mud and grass worked it's way in there? Says it's currently designed for artificial surfaces and women's game. Worth development though.

I highly doubt it.

Not to mention the ball bearing isn't going to spin with how soft these fields are. The whole stud will just go into the surface like it's supposed to.

If the ball bearing actually spun, wouldn't they be kinda slippery? Also, I'm thinking weight would be an issue and nobody would wear them. Most players already play with youth shin guards (or ridiculous minimalistic alternatives) to minimize the size, weight, uncomfortableness... I can't imagine they would choose these studs on the odd chance they prevent an ACL tear...

He mentioned the traction, only 3 studs would be the ball ones

They must be some good looking dudes if they can prevent devastating injury on looks alone.

Are you serious? I just told you that a moment ago

Anyone remember the rotating studded plate?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Luca Toni used to wear a pair of Lottos with that single spinning stud. I forget the model though.

Neymar has worn conical artifical ground moulds ever since his ACL injury. You can see in the Uruguay game he was wearing aggressive blades.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

What the fuck are you talking about? Neymar hasn't worn anything since his ACL injury, he's been recovering from surgery

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

How do other athletes without studs get ACL injuries?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Landing weird or getting hit in the outside/back of the knee and rolled up on in american football

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Normally with high impact, such as landings after jumping(basketball) or contact(American Football)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure round studs (a la Copa Mundials) are less likely to result in ACL injuries than the more common blade studs. No research to back that up, but seems like its much easier for a round stud to release from the ground than the flatter, longer blade.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Copas are the best on turf imo. More tractions than hard ground nubs, but the studs aren't too long either.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I wonder how many injuries are going to happen in the locker rooms and lining up before the game because they turned the studs into ice skates on hard surfaces.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

"There is currently no obvious solution to the problem"

How about, I dunno, not running the players into the ground for the sake of TV money and sponsorships to pay UEFA and FIFA fat cats?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Me who plays 5 on 5 on cement

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

When studs changed from mostly round to the current "blades" the injuries went up. Shocking that in search of more traction a player's foot would get stuck.

Bring back Cica Blades!
