Replacing JOFA 9077 elbow pads - Recommendations (and help with RBK sizing)

[Bulldog21 0]

I have a pair of JOFA 9077 elbow pads size5. They are very protective; extra length to the forearm (to almost reach gloves) and extended bicep pad (to protect when you straighten your arm).

I would like to replace them with something equivalent. Doesn't have to be RBK, but I thought it would be a simple conversion to RBK, maybe not...

I tried on some RBK's 7K, 6K, 5K they all seem short in length of the forearm and a size5 seems alot smaller than my old JOFA (and 6k doesnt have extended bicep pad). I tried a size7 in the RBK 6K and that seemed to be closer to what i needed!

any help or advice appreciated.

Last years' 8K would be what you are looking for. I believe the Easton Synergy 800 also has a little more length in the forearm.

Correct last years 8K's or this years 9K's. Both have the extended forearm piece on them.

This thread will help you out. Lester8 has a PhD in Jofa sizing.

Edit: The link would help wouldn't it?

The North American 9k Doesnt have the extended forearm. However the Euro does.

Not to try and jack this thread but my 8025s are pretty much dead, is there anything similar to this out now? I remember a few people on the board using them.

Great thanks for the info and i appreciate the last clarification about USA 9k's being short vs. Euro style, i thought i was going a bit crazy as i looked them over.

Biggest thing now is the sizing: i found some old JOFA's but unfortunately out-of-state so can't try them on. I take a size5, but they have size6 and size7.

What difference will i find in a size 6 JOFA versus size 5 JOFA? how much longer is the forearm? any bigger in diameter of the bicep? or forarm wrap?
