Answer 1

The first or second. I strongly suggest ASICS SLIDERS!

Answer 2

get the ones that have ALOT of padding. The more padding...the better. This way you will not injure your knees. I suggest the BASIC ones. Basic is a name of a company. Make sure they are not biking knee pads. Those are too tight and will not help you.

Answer 3

not the last ones. they look flimsy. i would get these:

best kneepads.

Answer 4

I mean I'm the same age and stuff and I think that mizuno is a great brand but not white b/c they will get nasty fast!! If u want practice ones 2, then black nikes r great 4 practicing!! Pick a knee pad that has enough cushion, but not 2 much!!!!!

I ♥ volleyball!!

Answer 5

I Have Had Aasics, Mizuno, And Under Armour KneePads. The Ones That Worked Best For Diving Were The Mizunos, But They Dont Have Any Ventilation So You Sweat Alot And Skink Haha. The Under Armours Are Really Good, The Ones I Have Are Gel And Work Good For Diving, And They Have Good Ventilation Because The Back Part Is Spandex :)

I Suggest Black Over White Because If You Dive Alot The Floors Will Turn Them Nasty Colors. Black Also Shows The Burn Marks Less Than White.

Hope This Helps! :D

Answer 6

you need some with lots of cushion

but some that dont hold you back from gettin on the floor

Answer 7

deff not the last ones, they dont have enough cushion. always get black because it hides dirt, unless you have to get white according to your team colors. never get nike dri- fit skinny cause i had them and they hurt like h**l when i would go on my knees. oasics are good... nike bubble knee pads the job for me, but they wore out quickly... go to http://www.buzzillions.com/volleyball-kn... to get the reviews on volleyball kneepads, hope i helped!

Answer 8

all the mizuno's look fine, making a choice would most likely be by price or personal preference.  

however, certain kneepads are preferable for certain positions/player types.  setters in general need to be more mobile and so they sometimes sacrifice some of the cushioning for more flexibility.  i had a pair of mcdavid hexpad kneepads that work pretty well for this, they were basically like sleeves (like the one runners wear) and didn't really cushion, but they prevented nasty floorburns. for liberos (ds) or outsides, getting thicker bubble style pads would be better for your knees in the long term.

general recommendations-i wear the asics conform, they fit pretty well and haven't really stretched out, and they aren't too thick but still provide (in my opinion) sufficient padding. but the new competition series (especially 3.0) looked pretty good

also, color isn't that important, sticking with white or black is fine, it's just that you have to wash the white ones a bit more often (with a guy, it only matters when it starts to smell :])

Answer 9

the first ones i have. im on club too. we all fold the top and bottom part down so they look skinnier.

haha and they have like blue gel in them.

what club do you play for?

Answer 10

DONT get black get white!!!!! but i would get mizuno!!! i play club ball too and have been playing for a while and mizuno is a really good volleyball manufacturer!!!!! I would Go with Them in white but its up to you!!!! good luck :))))

Answer 11

Heyy!!  ok, I had the first ones, and those are really nice.  I tried to find them again but I couldn't, so I think I got the last ones.  Those are deff not as comfortable, so go with the first.   Oh, and DO NOT get black kneepads.!! because on some teams, you have to have white ones as part of the uniform, and they are ugly.

Answer 12

i have some of the first ones

and they are amazing

either that or asics has some good ones
