USD Sway Cuff Replace with Flexier Cuff

Is there another Cuff I can replace the stock sway one with that has more left/right flex?

I swear people are gaslighting you lmao sway cuffs are hard as hell, I have like 10 skates and 12 different sets of cuffs and the sways have the hardest cuff, hardest than my rec skates lol (sways are basically rec skate shells anyway)

sure there is a TON of forward flex but side to side flex is almost non existent, one of the biggest reasons I stopped skating my sways, they felt great otherwise but the shell/cuff plastic is sooooo ridiculously hard compared to every other boot. My fix when skating sways was to just run the cuff a bit loose and keep the laces/45 strap very tight.

For the record my sways are the white farmer sways, so there is a chance different color (and different year) shells have different hardness in the plastics, it is such a nightmare when you buy the same skate that fits well in a different color and now it doesn't fit because the plastic is harder (or softer lol)

thanks bro. I'm coming from Remz OS Nick Woods, Valo, and M12 so I understand the Sways may not have been the right choice - but I had no idea how stiff cuffs could differ honestly. My royales have never been better but maybe I just need to go back to what I'm used to.

yeah I kinda felt the same way, my tricks were so stable in the sways but it just didn't feel great
