Studs/Blades - Advice/Help.

Right, I'm starting up my football again (in Year 12 now) for a new club.
Basically, I need to get new boots so I just needed to ask...

Would plastic, or metal blades be better for the football season?

It's said that plastic ones are better for 'Good Ground / Firm Ground' and the Metal blades for 'Soft Ground / Wet / Good Ground'.

Thanks.

I used to get two pairs each time. I always got one with metal blades and one with moulded blades. The moulded blades are for hard grounds and the metal blades for soft ground.

Don't get metal blades. You've heard all the stories about the pro's with them. Breaking other player's legs and the blade getting stuck in the ground and causing serious injury.

Doesn't effect him.

Yeah. I would do that but I only really want to get one pair and I was wondering what would be best.
Normally I get metal blades but I want to know what is really more efficient sort of thing.

I think I might have to get moulded blades as I'm not sure if the stores or online do:

In metal blades.

I'll ask if they do them in metal blades.


So the question really now is, still "are metal blades better than moulded/plastic in general", along with "are moulded/plastic blades any good?".

Thanks.


EDIT: Geraint, thanks. Although, I'm not really the sort of player that goes in for slide tackles and all of my previous boots haven't got stuck in the ground before but yes, there is a chance but I don't really think it'll happen. If it was to though, my funeral. Lol.
Thanks.

With personal preference i'd go with plastic definetly get blades though, there wont be a huge difference anyway

[Tristan]

Always go for blades

Thanks for that. But the question is whether to go for metal blades or moulded/plastic blades... Lol.

EDIT: Thanks ODT.

in my opinion moulded plastic also useful for artificial grass thats what we use at bolton thats only my opinion tho

[PappaLou]

metal blades are illegal in games if its an official ref on non-artificial pitches

i only use blades for astroturf
