Questions
What is the benefit of a curved kick pad?
A curved design naturally conforms to the shape of a leg or arm, providing a more stable and forgiving target for strikes. This enhances impact absorption and reduces strain on the pad holder.
How do I clean and maintain these PU kick pads?
Wipe the pads down with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution, then wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged sun exposure to preserve the material.
Are these pads suitable for heavy hitters?
Yes, the high-quality PU and engineered design provide optimal impact absorption, making them suitable for rigorous training with heavy hitters while protecting the pad holder.
What is the difference between PU and leather pads?
PU (Polyurethane) is a synthetic leather alternative that offers good durability and performance at a more accessible price point. Genuine leather typically offers superior longevity, a different tactile feel, and can mold more to use over time.
