It's not really supposed to be about any sort of weight difference, and I wouldn't say there is any substantial difference anyway. It's all about the added flex it gives you in your ankles.

I don't think I could ever go back to playing with none Broka'ed Lavers. Too much trouble to bend my ankle enough over that flap.

I played from the spring of this year up until a couple of months ago with the broka mod. It feels alright, but I sprained my ankle 3 times during that. It could have been just coincidence, but I think it makes rolling your ankle a little more dangerous. My clippers are just as good without it.

yea i know, just a notice i made, i also didnt take into account the fact that i changed my laces to shorter dress laces that are alot skinnier, so that and the brocka cut may have made the weight difference. When I crank now my ankle doesn't touch the side so i guess thats better

I'm a little afraid of fraying, but hey i need new lavers soon anyways

Yes indeed. As soon as I get new lavers, I am going to broka (sp?) the old pair and see how I fare. It may just be the solution to my op clip trouble.

I dont use the broka mod and both my clippers are fine so i dunno. Maybe it would be for people with out that flexible ankles.

No, it just helps people whose ankles flex in the part where the mod is done. Some peoples bend right on that spot and they find the Broka helpful, other people's ankle alignment is different and therefore they would find this mod pointless.

Hmmm, I went Broka and I have mixed feelings.

I am a little worried about the lack of ankle support and fraying. But I like how much more my ankle can move. It's like I am playing barefooted. As for clippers, It helped a little and I mean a little.

Overall, I wasn't blown away from this mod. But I am still glad I did it.

yeh with the frays, u could put some flexible glue on the frayed bits so they dont spread once the glue has dried.

Heh. You were searching for the word "mod" and phpbb went ahead and highlighted all instances for you.

You can highlight anything your heart desires:

i was thinking about doing this mod, but to keep it clean i was thinking about buying some red rubber tubeing the same collar as my lavers, then doing the cut nice and smooth and krazy glue the tube there, kinda like what hood did to his black lavers in the toe box.

I will post pictures later tonight of the really tidy broka mods I did on my Lavers and my Climas.

I cut them cleanly and then stitched it all back together.

I did the mod about two months ago and all the fray goes away after while. The mod is also really nice for cranking your ankle. I can get really flat with it.

That's also my overall opinion

@ Mosher: I would really like to see how you stitched the edges back together.
