Interesting comments on the sharpness of the shins...
I don't know that I agree about the weight differance effecting the sharpness of the shin...though I haven't really looked at that.
One of the arguements with heavies going down from leg kicks is about weight. Everyone says how much harder they kick etc...(not saying I agree or disagree).
I imagine you haven't fought guys that are 150lbs. Now when I train or play around and get hit it hurts more(or seems to) than when I fight. The focus isn't the same and the adrenaline isn't there.
Man, I'll wear shin pads before the begginers will though I've only had one fight where I was worried about my shins during it. My point being fighting and playing are different and 'feel' different.
Its almost like banging your toe when you're doing nothing. It hurts alot. If you are very busy and in the middle of something then you may hardly notice.
'Sharp' shins can come from kicking. Maybe its a hardness technically i don't know. But you can feel the 'sharpeness' of peoples shins.
How they are built in relation to weight...I'll have to take a look...but I'd rather get kicked by a guy thats 150lbs than a guy thats 230lbs.
