Spike length

system · June 14, 2003, 6:52am

I just got some new asics cybersprints, in the box there were some spikes, i think 6 1/2mm.

is that too short for grass sprinting?

The weather here is bad at the moment with rain falling every few days.

I will be sprinting on a open soccer field…would i need longer spikes?

thanks

if the grass is really soggy then get your hands on some 9-12mm XC spikes,you’ll get grip real good.also make sure the grass is even as soccor players tend to tear up the stuff leaving huge divots leading to you landing wrong and risking injury

Thanks for that.

yeah the sidelines, kids fields and certain stretchs of the fields are perfect no torn up patchs and they are even

There are areas which i have to avoid…at the same time i have at least 2-3 more ovals, fields and amature tracks within walking distance!

thanks again!
