The 2nd and 3rd are mostly the same, I wouldn't get them because they have acrylic arrows and those have been known to break easly. The best one of the 3 would be the first one because it has Polycarbonate arrows and those are a lot stronger than the acrylic ones.

Ok the first one is pretty much the same as the second one only in a thicker frame, and yes, has the much better poly c. arrows. From the looks of it this is the sturdiest one.

Second is the MyMyBox, I have one of these and it's pretty good, they don't have the better arrows so cracking will probably occure sometime down the road (i weigh 140 and had this for over 4 months and so far no cracking...yet...) Fairly sturdy, good quality pad.

Third is some random off-brand pad. This is the cheapest one of all 3, probably the weakest too. I had this one and gave it to my girlfriend who weighs 100lbs, and she's managed to crack every arrow (she's a low heavy player 6-9 feet, and doesn't stomp). Actually I had 2 of these, one died in 2 weeks, the other one she's had for about 9 months and is still doing really good and works perfectly. I guess a 'results may vary' sticker goes on this.

I hope that helped out

I owned for a while Mymybox pads, and as long as you play on a hardwood floor and NOT a carpet, you should be happy for a while. Yes the arrows do crack, and you should follow the modification created by a few of us that Ter put on his website so that you do not get stuck arrows. If you must play on a carpet put a piece of wood underneath the pad.

The first one is the best out of all of them
