Which ones do you think are best??

I have bad knees and just wondered which people thought were best at shock absorbing?
 
funny you should say this as took off my sprenger stirrups and replaced with lightweight wide tred stirrups for about a year......I have gradually been getting bad knees over every "more demanding ride" such as hunting/fun rides.
I put the sprengers back on the other day and bang......instant relief from knee pain! So I highly rate the sprengers (although mine arent bow balance) and dont know why I tooked them off in the first place!
 
I also have bad knees. In fact I used to not be able to trot for more than a few yards -oddly, though, galloping was never a problem :-)

I bought the Sprenger bow balance stirrups - and I have to say that they are totally amazing. Practically no knee pain at all while riding - and none at all the next day (when I used to spend Monday and Tuesday hobbling around the office after a couple of weekend rides)
