Jy 3 Cleats are pretty easy to explain. If you have ankle trouble, automatically get a mid cleat or a low cut cleat with a flexible strap for ankle support. if you play in the trenches, the front 7 on defense and the backfield, you need a mid cut cleat. low cut cleats should only be worn by wide receivers who don't play defense, and cornerbacks. safeties need a dual cleat that gives you support and flexibility. studs or molded should be determined by what surface you are playing on. I played football in the Midwest so I only wore 7 stud cleats due to the wet conditions I expected to be in. however, during summer two a days, I wish I had molded shoes for the hard dry ground. so that is more about surfaces then restricting yourself to one cleat. if you have a trainer, always get your joints taped up. it's best to be supported than hurt, trust me.
for HS and above players. Got a question, i'm gonna give some of my measurements and traits and i wanna know what areas i should really focus on improving on this summer! I want to play LB and RB this year. (Base 4-4 Defense so OLB's cover wide a lot) I have a 4.78 40. squat max is 315. Bench max is 195. 104" Broad jump. and I weigh 175 lbs. Obviously I'll be lifting and conditioning this summer to get a lot of those numbers up. But is there anything i should try to isolate and improve? Also if you play RB or LB, any tips or advice would be great. Thanks bros!
I’m super tall for my age and in one game I threw I block, but the kid was so small my pinky got caught in his face mask and he started screaming at me and clawing at my arms.
junkyard & blondie I was a lineman, and I would pick a facemask as light as possible if I knew how much protection I really needed. it's not as bad as it seems out there. people aren't looking to poke your eyes out, and if your afraid of that, get an eye shield, it doesn't eliminate sightlines and you get more protection.
Can you do a series on how to read certain defense formations and offense formations? or the objectives of the coverages and their weakness. If you are able to that would be great.
Facemasks have changed a lot since I played HS ball 11 years ago. I will tell you that if you get something with more protection than you need, you'll live to regret it. I played Center, Guard and Kicked Field Goals and Kickoffs. if I could do it all over again, I'd do a two bar like Aaron Rodgers or Jordy Nelson wears with a plastic shield to cover my eyes. I never needed all the wire protection I used. I was a chop/roll blocker the last two years due to some leg injuries. You'll have more vision, and you'll enjoy your sightlines s lot more without adjusting your helmet every 5 minutes.
Thanks for Teaming up with green gridiron! My Son and I watch your pod cast All The Time to see what football equipment you give the best rating! Thanks.... because of your rating of the xenith epic. We are going to purchase our 1st helmet!! We could use the $100. We normally get him just a visor. However We want to get the Blackout package also!
Anytime! Please keep doing the great work that your doing! Your Knowledge has helped us a lot. I also purchased those White/Silver Cam Newton cleats after I saw the difference between the other colors. Can't wait to see the New Cam Newton's. I hope that You Rate those this season. I haven't seen them in the stores yet! However Great Job. My Son was LIT that you replied to our message as well. Thanks for that!
Can anyone help me? I am a receiver and I am struggling to catch the balls that are over my head because I can't reach my arms high enough with the shoulder pads. If loosen them they almost fall off and if they're too tight I can't reach at all. Any tips or suggestions. Or shoulder pads to buy. I am shoulder width 15 and chest size 32. I appreciate and I love your videos IKF!
Platinum no not really. The Ray Lewis intimidation mask or others like it, Justin Tuck, Darnell Dockett, Tank Johnson etc... are just for show and really hurt the sightlines of the player. I wore something like Urlacher wore, and it was too much. I wish as a lineman, that I wore a facemask with less protection.
When I was a kid, I hated the vertical bars that went from top-down. As long its clear in the middle, and the helmet condition is good, that's all that matters.
Lamar Jackson wears the 2 bar with the eye guard. I’ve started seeing more dual threat QBs wearing those. I play WR/special teams and recent switched to the open 2 bar from an SF 2BD (first green one he showed off), which I also love but wanted to try something a little different
Brandon Blackwell the only thing is is that all of the shoc and under armour visors have cracked on me and I don't wanna spend top dollar so I would rather get a face mask
I remember when you first got the riddell speedflex helmet in 2013 and you still had it in like a black helmet cover and you were saying how you weren't going to make a video on it lol
Hey, I ordered some ua spotlights and they are tight around my toes. Is this normal and will fix when they are broken in or should I get a half or full size up
What about the face mask ray lewis wore in super bowl 47,I play line backer and I was planning to get that face mask but old if it fits only certain helmets. I saw one on green gridiron call DNA stg 2.0 I think and I'm planning to get that one but idk if it only fits DNA helmets. If you can answer back plz let me know asap. Thx
For real the extra area for lineman is so useful before I bought my own helmet I had a Ridell speed and the face mask did not even protect my neck I got neck punched every 4 plays
Hey is it bad if I go out wearing a backplate and visor for my first year and can you do a football tip Friday video about how not to look cocky on your first year and or something like that
hey i know all these helmets are good and stuff but i dont have all the money to spend on helmets, facemasks, and equipment. So can you do a budget football equipment video? (that doesn't look bad) Thanks so much!
Britten VanGorder I'm in my junior year and I'm buying my own speedflex. I would buy it when you get into high school or last year in middle school. Talk to your coaches and order the size you need.
They red lineman facemask...do they make one with eye guards as well? I think Robert Mathis wore something like that with eye guards back in the day for a few seasons
Do best cleat by position

All respect for IKF for all the football tips! Taking up his personal time to talk to us about "Key" things about football!
Do best cleats by position!!
I have been a linemen for 8 years and I've never had a finger go in my face through a face mask. Always played no visor open face as no eye guards
Lmao my first game as a d end I got jabbed in the eye
I’m super tall for my age and in one game I threw I block, but the kid was so small my pinky got caught in his face mask and he started screaming at me and clawing at my arms.
Ans then there’s me who got a hand in my face mask on Friday
It's nice to know that the different brands are thinking about each position
RB's wya
Soulja Boy Console yessir RB and Free Safety
RB/WR
RB/LB
YURRRR
@@kajioverheaven7520 RB AND SS
I wish i was one of these rich kids he think i am that im able to buy half the shit he shows lmfao
anthony camacho fuck how you look it's how you play man
ask your equipment guy he should have some extras of different face masks
He doesn't think that. He is just showing off facemasks that suit your position. Where did he say you have to purchase these?
No Chicken 💯
Krispy Beats yea nah bro my school poor we dont have that luxury
where the lineman at #bigboysquad
junkyard & blondie linemen get ugly ass facemasks lmao
domo535 Sort of yeah but they look more scary with all the bars going on
junkyard & blondie i wear a wide receiver facemask😂 i hate how the lineman helmets look
junkyard & blondie here

6:20 I’m a Qb and I use that face mask, offer a lot of protection and the eye guards don’t effect much
This is still my favorite channnel
🙌🏾 I appreciate you!
Love the content man🙏🏼
please do best cleat by position
awesome video, mate. Been following you for a while and your content rocks! Actually 98% of my equipment choices has been thanks to you!
I'm glad I can be beneficial!
Been watching your videos for forever now and there always worth it to watch!! Miss the gameday vlogs you did before your lions and mustangs games.
I've been subscribed to you for a couple years now, and you are the most informal channel on TH-cam! Another great video!
Can you do a series on how to read certain defense formations and offense formations? or the objectives of the coverages and their weakness. If you are able to that would be great.
best facemask for ref position?
heroinfather I would recommend the facemasks used back in the 1960s
the last lineman facemask shown at the end of the video is ideal for referee's

Judging by the calls a sheet of metal
Keep up the vids i'm looking to go semi pro like you too.
You really give all the info needed.. and answer all my questions I have in mind...thanks a lot man...my idol !
Following you since the How to make a visor fit on a Schutt Ion 4d video! Helps me so much!
Where my Receivers at?
Sorry imma DB
safety gang
Great video! I like so much the single wire with eye guards! And that matte black looks so cool!

Who else plays linebacker
Here
Matt \ me
What's good bro?
I played LB with the last facemask with an extra horizontal bar next to second from bottom. Excellent neck and jaw protection.
Love the vids man!! You helped me look good on the field since day one!! You should do a how to prep for a big game!
Where’s my fellow Kickers at?
SeveGaming no body reply’s 😂
I'm a punter does that count?
lmao ye kicker
Am WR and kicker/punter in high school
i kick on and off. mainly a rb/LB tho
I rock the single bar facemask on my revo speed.
It’s like 2bd sw minus the 2 bars on top, it’s single
I'm 5'1" 350 pounds, 4.28 in the 40, which position should I play?
Leo Camacho
you'd be a freak of nature of all impossibility.
no 300 pound man has ever ran a sub 4.5
Matthew633 its a joke
Leo Camacho kicker
Leo Camacho dude same I'm 4'10 400 pounds and I run a 4.19
Leo Camacho ya I'm 890 and I run a 3.92
Any IKF diaries coming?

Saucy Shane how old are you
Saucy Shane try jumping I had the same problem or put your hands high
Or smaller shoulder pads
try sliding your hands up by your sides rather than laterally
Sundar Thomas I'm 14 but small for my size and thank you for the advice
Unless you're running a Ray Lewis intimidation face mask, it shouldn't make a difference. Am I missing something
Platinum
no not really.
The Ray Lewis intimidation mask or others like it, Justin Tuck, Darnell Dockett, Tank Johnson etc... are just for show and really hurt the sightlines of the player.
I wore something like Urlacher wore, and it was too much. I wish as a lineman, that I wore a facemask with less protection.
What type of visor you rock?
Great decision! Im glad you guys are collaborating finally! Great vid very informative for people who don't quite understand keep up the great work !
love the tips, keep it going man
I go the ultra boost cleats and your review nailed it and I love green gridiron
Been subscribed for 4 years now! Yuh
Thanks this really helps keep the good work up
When I was a kid, I hated the vertical bars that went from top-down. As long its clear in the middle, and the helmet condition is good, that's all that matters.
I really like your football tip Fridays I just barely subscribed but this is going to help me in the upcoming season thanks
wow there's a lot of thought that goes into this equipment I learned a lot
thank you for posting this video i was wondering what kind of facemask i should wear
great video man🔥
what do you think about the Rawlins impuls plus? May be you can make a review on it 😊
As a lineman I use a receiver mask so when I bull rush and make it through the line I 1. Don't get crushed by a fullback and 2. I can find my target
I like the eye guards facemask with the single wire
Lamar Jackson wears the 2 bar with the eye guard. I’ve started seeing more dual threat QBs wearing those. I play WR/special teams and recent switched to the open 2 bar from an SF 2BD (first green one he showed off), which I also love but wanted to try something a little different
IKF, which one would you do for safety?
D line needs the one without eye guards because they need to see the ball snapping with their peripheral vision
do a video on how you put on that chinstrap on the speedflex pls and nice video.👌👌👌
I am a kicker and I prefer one bar for maximum visibility
Hello!! You can tell how to choose a sholder for different positions?
I love the speed flex Helmets
I have the standard face mask without the middle bar really good for db and field vision 👍🏿
Kind of weird, but what mask type would be best for me if I play tight end, D end, and linebacker, and sometimes a WR
what cleats would you recommend for a Running back ?
You should do best gear by position. Shoulder pads,helmet gloves, cleats etc.
I’m a running back, WR, and FS
You should do a video on what water bottles should we use
Yeah wondered the point of all the differences
i have learned so more from u
I just ordered the open one with the eye guards and the UA flag visor
yo can you do a video for the best cleats by position plz
I Know Football I play defensive end and I have been poked in the eyes plenty of times because I have the open face mask
Maverick Voeun get a visor
Brandon Blackwell the only thing is is that all of the shoc and under armour visors have cracked on me and I don't wanna spend top dollar so I would rather get a face mask
Maverick Voeun
you get what you pay for
I remember when you first got the riddell speedflex helmet in 2013 and you still had it in like a black helmet cover and you were saying how you weren't going to make a video on it lol

I saw one on green gridiron call DNA stg 2.0 I think and I'm planning to get that one but idk if it only fits DNA helmets. If you can answer back plz let me know asap. Thx
Shouldve added a pov angle so we can see what it would look like if we wore em
That would have been a good idea. Woulda taken forever to swap masks lol
@@IKnowFootball fair but you dont even need to swap masks, just show the masks from the inside close up to the lens to give a general idea
@@parkerbenningfield I see what you mean now.
love the vids
Can you do a video on protective gear?
Which helmets do you recommend by position
Good video🌟
can u do a video of best protection gear
What is your suggestion for Tight End
For real the extra area for lineman is so useful before I bought my own helmet I had a Ridell speed and the face mask did not even protect my neck I got neck punched every 4 plays
What's the link for that yellow one? Thanks.
I'm 6" 145 pounds, which position should I play?
do you have any cleats videos ?
Great video
Hey is it bad if I go out wearing a backplate and visor for my first year and can you do a football tip Friday video about how not to look cocky on your first year and or something like that
No its not bad. Mainly go out in what you feel confident in.
Rb robot was my 1st ever facemask
What do you mean with ''Not enough protection'' with the more open facemasks? Like is it going to bend or what's gonna happened?
Viktor Söderberg yes. More susceptible to bending with repeated impact
I love your videos
I like that dak Prescott type facemask. I got a speed though so I just need the speed version
hey i know all these helmets are good and stuff but i dont have all the money to spend on helmets, facemasks, and equipment. So can you do a budget football equipment video? (that doesn't look bad) Thanks so much!
Erik Starr might be my next football tip Friday vid
I Know Football oh thank you dude your awesome! keep up the good work, love your vids.
Can the red linesman one use a visor?
Love it!
What cleats do u guys think have the best traction
Yo if seen you post on Instagram you still playing..are you wanna do ikf diaries
What about tight end
When should you get your own helmet for football ?
Britten VanGorder I'm in my junior year and I'm buying my own speedflex. I would buy it when you get into high school or last year in middle school. Talk to your coaches and order the size you need.
Thx I'm going into high school
i wish they allowed those facemasks that break fingers lmao. it pisses me off when a lineman just grabs my facemask and yanks it for no reason
I’m a left end and I have a speedflex it had the extra bar and has a Nike visor
They red lineman facemask...do they make one with eye guards as well? I think Robert Mathis wore something like that with eye guards back in the day for a few seasons
For the public they don’t but for pro and college players they can do custom
I prefer just a Schutt standard helmet with a standard face mask. It’s about how you play, not how you look
MisterMagma same
