I have also switched to the GD System. (its not just a stance)
Getting hit in the cage is the last thing I worry about, and actually hope for it I have to get hit, because I wear a helmet. Getting hit on the button is kind of like having a mosquito land on your nose.
But man are your hands, forearms and inner thighs exposed !
I have not been hit YET, but balls have been whizzing by in places they never used to. I am going to stick with it until I get beat up so bad I cant stand still. Im finishing up HS playoffs this week and next, where I rarely get hit anyway, and also finished up the BR 13 YRO PREP leagues this week. PREP was not a problem because they dont throw hard. This week I start BR 14 15 YRO Juniors and 16 18 YRO Seniors. The seniors arent a big deal because it is basically HS Varsity, best of the best. The juniors have me a bit worried because the pitchers can throw hard and the catchers arent much better than the 13 YROs. This may be it for the GD !
Maybe I could switch to Hockey Goalie gear ?
