Lot's here posted about proper adjustment of the CP to protect the collar bone. I notice being failed to mention is proper stance. I have noticed many umpires who are now using the Jerry Davis stance bending over too much at the waist thus exposing the upper edge of the clavicle. When used properly and adjusted correctly most upper end CP's do a great job of protecting you IF your stance is correct. When you get in your set position, tuck the hips underneath. This will place your torso in a more upright position and provide better protection.
