I've tried it
and love the low fatigue aspect, but the stance is much harder metally than physically. To just stand there with nothing between you and the pitcher when a catch set-up outside is soo hard mentally. I got hit 4 times yeaterday, but two were foul tips (tough nuggies) and two were complete catchers errors, both the missed the ball completely, no tip, or swing on either and just missed catching it, took one on the shoulder and one on the shin, didn't feel a thing thanks to the equipment.
I like it and I'm getting better at the mental aspect each game. I certainly seethe zone much clearer and it help raise my zone which was low 1-2 inches which I desparately needed.
