Soccer Cleats : Blades v.s Studs part 2

Hello there, Heikal here. I hope you had an enjoyable day. Today, we will look at the blades of the soccer cleats or football boots. So, let us begin



Surface
Firstly, the surface of the boot have more blades which are closer from one to another. This would penetrate and hold onto the surface which gives an ultimate grip. Then, what kind of condition is it suitable for?




Condition
The grounds that are firm and sometimes hard for example, on a dry soccer pitch or on a sand pitch or an astro turf.




Weather
Thirdly, a dry weather is more suitable for this kind of boots. Although, from experience, a slight drizzle might work just fine as well.



Moving on, let us look at some benefits




Grip
Firstly, the more blades means the more grip you have on the surface. Also, this would be easier to initiate runnings and movements.




Balance
Second, followed from above. This gives a soccer player more balance which ideally good for ball control, dribbling and as well as defending.



But there is a potential risk




Turning
First, the danger of having more grip could result in more difficult to twist and turn. This is usually the case in off-the-ball situations for example when marking or when looking for a space.



The impact could be severe on the knee-joints for example.



So, it is extremely important to work on your techniques in running and movement especially when using this type of soccer cleats or football boots for the first time.



Finally, it is common nowadays for any player at any levels. Personally, I wear them when playing five a-side games on an astro turf whether for fun or for serious competition.



Lastly, this is the final part. So hopefully it would be beneficial to you before starting to buy.



Would   love   your   comments.   Bye, enjoy your day and soccer!
