A wideset va...stance would probably need looser top straps. netmind Hall of Fame Joined: 12 Mar 2007 Posts: 1501 Posted: Sat May 31, 2008 9:04 pm    Post subject: the only time you need to tighten your top straps is if your pads are floping around to much...a little more snug will still loose enough for the Bfly, but the pad wont be dangling on the knee lock. the key is the pads straps have to be loose enough that they imppose no resistance to the twisting of the pad for the bfly. A guy with 26" quads and 18" calfs is going to wear his pads differently than a kid with 14 calf and 20 quads, but the result in how the pad functions is thesame... so if you see flury has is lower calf on hole 3 and his top calf on the last hole, and his knees are both danling on the loosest, that set up will look very different for a kid a youth.
