The whole Nike / Adidas / Reebok / Mizuno whosit-whatsit shouldn't matter, it just looks good. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobUmp Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 If you remember my +POS AL that resembled a mizuno 129 frame that I had, all summer, paired with tan TWs, I bought two tone gray and black leather pads for fall ball from U-A when they announced availability, and created a loose interpretation of the Fonzie mask: +POS AL frame painted Dark Steel, Mizuno TG, Honigs Harness, with the Wilson Black and Grey pads.

Used it Sunday, and it felt good.. Looking at the pic, I think the fact that the pads are wraparound is causing the perception that the pads are off a little..

If so... -500 x2 for not remembering I am looking for the Mizuno Shovel and not the Zett Push for the fact that the Big W does kind of suck. But the memory foam pads are great. P.S. I will get my "white whale" gosh darn it! Someone will sell me one, I will convince the gentleman (why can't I find his darn name) to give me another chance at one when I finally attend a BBUC came, or someone on here while get so sick of me bringing it up that they will sell me one of theirs.

JDavis225 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Anybody remove the loud yellow W from their Wilson memory foam pads? Does Acetone work? I HATE that W. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HATE that W. If im not mistaken, the memory foam pads have the patch on it. Been awhile, but you can cut that black patch w/ the W on it.

What I do is I pick at the stitches of the patch (around a corner) with an exacto knife until you got enough playroom to start cutting and picking more. Kinda easy after you get it started i have to cut a patch off some gray pads, I’ll post a pic in about two hours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCueds Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Okay, so if use a knife just make sure you don’t have a really heavy hand. And after you get some done you can kinda pull it off. and I just slapped these pads on the nike frame while my TW pads are washing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister B Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 A seam ripper would likely do less damage if you are heavy handed. And it should only cost $2 at your local fabric/sewing store. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna try a seam ripper to get it off as I'm trying to make my Nike look cleaner without that W on the pad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCueds Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Mizuno 122, striped and powder coated matte black w/ SSK tg also pc’d. Im playing around with the mask pad combo, but I’m probably gonna stick with this or the fonzie look 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
