Location: North Dakota | 07milch - 2019-01-29 2:30 PM LMS - 2019-01-29 8:55 AM I have the walls twisted and slanted on everything I ride. The only way I can make hours without being crippled when I'm done! I used to be an die hard Walls fan until I used the Nettles with Leveler! It's night and day, IMO. I'll never go back to Walls.
I rode a friends saddle with the Nettles and the regular walls slanted-neither of them are anything like the twisted and slanted for walls. I have an unpopular opinion about nettles but that won't go over well here! 
I did my homework and tried everyone suggested here (except of course the "leveler" with nettles as they are new) and found the slanted and twisted are the best for me |

Did the Nettles you tried have the Leveler? Because that is what makes all the difference. I had a regular pair of Nettles that were fine but it is a whole different ball game with the Leveler.... |

| Ok now, Which nettles do you like and why? Have you tried the “75’s”? I’m going to pick between the half breed and the 75s ... I think lol
I think I’ll go ahead and (Gulp) get the leveler option.

I had 75s without the Leveler. I personally did not find them conducive to barrel racing. Sold them pretty quickly. I now have two pairs of Barrel Racer Nettles with the Levelers. What I really like, other than no knee pain, is (because of how they rock) you can get up on your toes and hustle (like leaving a barrel) or plant your heels and sit really deep (like going into a turn). They’re pretty awesome. Also, again because of how they rock/rotate, I believe it would be near impossible to get a foot hung up in the stirrup if you came off. |

ok I ordered the 75's with the leveler. I'm not racing much anymore just a little now and then. mostly trail, ranch and training. I get the leather tread, I had grip tread in the past (walls) and got my foot stuck in the stirrup. i'm pretty excited to get them!! thanks to rockyroad!  |
