yodajaeger Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 anyone sell it. I have ironmind ones I've been using for isometrics but I can not stand it. Hey, check the suede or leather wraps from fbbc, great ones. What's the problem with im pads? They have several advantages, forces you to build pain-tolerance and wrist-torque. A combination of the two is probably the best alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokhugo Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hi Mark! some guys use both! (fat pads) ... i see David and Josh using their IM for inner wraps and suede for outside. Matt use the IM wraps for outside wraps and suede inside. (7.5" european edgin). if u use both u will bend Big steel quicker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthcarl Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Matt use the IM wraps for outside wraps and suede inside.(7.5" european edgin). Do you mean me? I use a variety of wraps, but I don't like mixing IM pads with leather. Maybe you're thinking of my blue FBBC leather pads. For double wraps I prefer two sets of the thinner suede from FBBC ($5 a pair, I believe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RQuinn Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 FBBC or Tandy Leather For you or anyone else that has ordered from Tandy Leather online, what type of leather and suede is most similar to the FBBC material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyj75 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 anyone sell it. I have ironmind ones I've been using for isometrics but I can not stand it. Like the other guys said, FBBC is one source. You can also try Hobby Lobby, Jo Ann Fabric, or Michaels craft stores. They all have Tandy leather or "Real Leather" brand leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much leather would I need? 3 of the 8.5x11'' suede trim pieces would be just fine. Cut all three in half, and you have 3 sets of wraps to use as singles, or you can use 2 or all 3 sets at once for some fat pad action.

bencrush Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 As someone who has at one time had nearly 30 pairs of various size pads, you'll be better off buying FBBC (not just because I like John either) and skipping the Michael's and all the other places. They're already cut from FBBC. I've bought quite a bit from Michael's and I'm more often than not displeased with slight variations in thickness and other things that really show up when you're bending hard steel.
