I'm sorry I didn't mention the cup, I work the slot in a modified Gerry Davis stance. I never bailout. I have taken a few shots on my chest. Usually less than 3-4 a year. The most pain I have had is forgetting to wear steel toes and taking a shot on the end of the shoe. Most foul balls go over the head, it is usually missed balls that hit me anywhere else. I have seen one or two guys in my area try to go without a cp after watching me and flinching on every pitch. I tell them if they can't stay put wear the CP. It seems to me there are a bunch of umps hiding behind the catcher while wearing full armorment. The other thing I have noticed is if the catcher and pitcher are no good You get hit, but the ball is traveling with little velocity, if the pitcher is throwing heat the catcher is usally catching heat.
