Germination was directive from TJC Safety Guideline committee.. The new rule limits the height of toe grabs while eliminating the use of turn downs, or any jars/stickers/bends, on front shoes.
Not to contest CJ's assertion, but studies have for an extended period suggested that grabs and stickers can contribute to breakdowns.

I'll have to check out the archives. That said, I have seen a very in depth study that at the very least shows caulks don't cause more injuries, and quite possibly fewer. Maybe you should have that guy on ATR.

It is just another example of changing something in a game that needs many other more important changes.
This would be like my house being obliterated by a tornado and I go out the next day order a new front door lock.

I'm thinking that a lot of SHOE handicappers will now change course and become NEW GELDING handicappers. Good luck with that.
