Drilling your soles
Drilling your soles
When players talk about drilling the soles on their lavers do they mean drilling wholes up through the sole or horizontally through the shoe?
Thanks

Horizontally. I think it provides more cushion/shock absorption. I don't know for sure, I've never done it.

No, I don't play soccer. Yes, there are competitions. 4 years. Lots of practice.

Horizontally - You know shoes that have those air cushions or things like that around the heel area ? It's a similar concept that it allows the shoes to cushion more with when absorbing shock. I've never tried it, and I don't know how well it works, but I've seen kickers with that mod. Ken S. ? Do you still do that to your shoes or am I just making things up in my mind ?
More C4 please <3

I just got a new pair of lavers? Should I drill horizontally or vertically?

Is drilling necessary at all would be my question ?jon wrote:I just got a new pair of lavers? Should I drill horizontally or vertically?
I have my lavers for some weeks now and I don't think that drilling is really worth the effort ?
Enlighten me please

I haven't drilled my Lavers and I don't think I will. I like my ninja slippers just how they are. If I were to get a new pair sometime in the future off eBay or whatnot, I might try it on the pair and see what it feels like. But, probably not.

If I get time I will post some pics of the drilling I did. I got some tips from ellis that were very helpful. The holes were drilled both vertically and horizontally and formed a honeycomb pattern in the shoe's sole when completed.

ah.. I took so many pictures of the mods I did but just never put them into a tutorial. Right after I finished I got my gunits and never looked back. If I get some time this week I will do a little write up and post them.
