    @ everyone asking about FG/AG boots:
    We've seen FG/AG boots from adidas before and right now both the PUMA Ultra and FUTURE Z is FG/AG. *It's basically an FG boot that has the warranty of an AG boot.* In other words, you don't lose your warranty by wearing FG/AG boots on artificial grass, but they're just as unsafe to use as normal FG boots are. Go full AG is my best advice. /Jay

    Let's be clear: YES, you CAN wear FG boots on AG pitches and get away with it - but IF you get unlucky, the risk of injury is just higher than if you wear AG boots. Just keep it in mind. If you play on BOTH FG and AG pitches and can only get one boot, we recommend that it's an AG boot to be on the safe side - both in terms of injuries and warranty! /Jay

    AG - artificial grass

    SG - soft ground (rainy muddy natural grass)
    TF - turf ground (similar to AG but different, turf grass is much shorter than AG grass)
    MG - multi-ground (can wear them to different grass)
    Advice: don't wear FG to any artificial grass ground, 2017 I suffered level 3 lateral meniscus torn because the FG boots stucked too deep and firm into the ground, my body turned around and my left knee did not. Ouch. Took me 3 years to recover and play properly but will never be at 100% again. Only if I knew...

    here to share my story:
    i am a semi-professional player at a club, and I used to wear FG-boots on AG pitches although I knew that it was a bad idea; I never really thought that I would actually get hurt because of "too much grip". However, 6 weeks back I jumped up to head the ball away, and I landed on one leg, and I tried to accelerate away towards the ball... leg got caught in the turf and caught an ACL tear, and some meniscus inflammation.
    Threw my old boots out, got new ones and after 6 long weeks came back to the pitch. And, in this 6 weeks, I lost the opportunity to play for the professional squad.
    Moral of the day: listen to JayMike and don't wear FG-boots on AG-pitches.

    1000000% agree with this! I tore my ACL because I was wearing FG vapors on artificial grass. I was sprinting and went up for a header. When I landed on my right leg first I felt my cleat get stuck on the AG. My momentum kept my body moving forward while my right leg remained stuck on the AG and then SNAP! There went my ACL :( ACL rupture is one of the worst injuries anyone can have. So please, I beg you all to wear AG shoes when playing on AG. Avoid being injured like I did by just wearing the appropriate cleat.

    My friend lost his leg from an injury cause he used FG boots on an AG pitch. I even have multiple friends who tore their ACL cause they wore FGs on AG pitches. The bottom line is that he's right. For the most part you will be fine. But the one instance you get injured, it can be very very bad. It only takes one nasty injury to fuck you up good. Be safe out there and use the right boots for the right surfaces.

    @joshgrundon6019 ปีที่แล้ว

    I know you said SG are the worst on AG, but why? Most SG boots have conical metal studs. Surely this resists the AG surface less than triangular/ chevron shaped studs from an FG soleplate?

    • @unisport
      @unisport  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, but at the same time there are typically 6-8 metal studs which are longer than the plastic stud. That means that you’re essentially running on those 6-8 studs only, as they’re the ones in contact with the ground. That’s A) very unstable as you can’t penetrate the ground and thus running on top of it on those metal studs meaning that you can be more prone to rolling over and B) that there’s more force applied on each stud since those fewer studs get all of your weight. That means that they’re likely to get stuck because of the added pressure and that’s bad news for your knees.
      Oh and they’ll tear the pitch apart but that’s not really a problem for your body per se 😄 /Jay

    • @unisport
      @unisport  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's basically an FG boot that has the warranty of an AG boot. In other words, you don't lose your warranty by wearing FG/AG boots on artificial grass, but they're just as unsafe to use as normal FG boots are. Go full AG is my best advice. /Jay
