What is the best way to adjust goalie pads to a butterfly style?

i was just wondering what the most comfortable way to adjust bottom pads for a butterfly style. I want to make sure the pad is upright when i am down and not crooked. Any suggestions?|||pads are not specifically made for stand up, butterfly and hybrid goaltending. Nowadays, nearly every goalie is considered a hybrid goalie, because that is the most effective approach to playing goal. If you are trying to get your pads to roll out so they are "upright" when you go down, you will want to have them a bit loose. I would keep the bottom strap fairly firm where it connects with the skate, anything loose there will feel weird to play in. Then as you do your straps, the higher up your leg you go, make it looser and looser. This should allow the pad to "roll" as you go down and flair out so that the front surface of the pad is facing out and not crooked. I hope this helps.|||don't play butterfly style.that's stupid and a bunch of goalies lost their starting positions because of it. the butterfly should be used as one of many save selections in your arsenal. but to help your butterfly, loosen your straps, and where you tie your pad to the skate (on the toe of the pad) make an anchor in the lase to allow for better mobility. the best thing to do though is to work on your flexibility.|||Pads are specifically made for either stand-up, butterfly or hybrid goalies.|||loosen the straps. This makes it almost impossible for the pads to fall with the face on the ice.
