Soccer Cleats: Blades v.s Studs Part 1

Hello   there,   I   am   Heikal.   Hope   you   had   an   interesting   day.



Today,   I   would   like   to   respond   to   one   of   my   friend's   problem.   The   difference   between   using   studs   and   blades.   So,   in   the   first   part,   we   will   have   a   closer   look   on   what   studs   are   for   the   soccer   or   football   boots.



Then,    let    us    look    at    some    beneficial    points:



Surface
Firstly,    notice    on    the    image    below.    The    gap    between    the    studs    are    far    from    another.    This    allows    it    to     penetrate    into    a    softer    surface    thus    giving    more    grip    to    the    soccer     player.    So,    under     what     condition?



Condition
Secondly,    the    soft     ground    normally    derives    from     the    wet    weather    conditions    like    rain,    drizzles,     fog    and    perhaps    snow.



From    experience,    it    is    more    suitable    in     Europe     since    the    condition    is    always    wet    during    winter    times    except    in    the    summer.



Weight
Then,     thirdly,    the    pair    of    boots    or    cleats    are    likely    to    be     light-weight    relative    to     the    soccer    cleats    with    blades.     This     is     because     there    are    fewer    studs,    normally     there     are    six    of    them.




But,    there    are    some    risks    to    be    aware    of



Injury-Prone
There    are    fewer    studs    meaning    less    grip    when     running    in     situations     like     cutting    across    the    marker.    As    a    result,     the    player    could     fall    and    may    prone    to    unnecessary     injury.



Therefore,    as    a    soccer    player    or    freestyle,    it    is     advisable    to    be    careful    with    one's     movement    and     steps     with     the    ball.



This    takes    practice.    Hopefully    that's    beneficial.    Stay    on    the    look    out    for    Part     Two.    Bye     and     enjoy    your    soccer!

Wow what a nice and affordable schedule chosen for the training. Playing soccer is a very healthy activity. We get lazy in winters but we forget the more we work out and play the less we would feel cold. To get out of my boring and lazy routine. I decided to join Winter Soccer Camps. This link really helped me out in my desire. Must join Winter Soccer Camps

Agreed. Winter is quite difficult and a challenge for any soccer player to come out and train. Hopefully, perseverance pays :)

Thank you for your comment
