First of all, I apologize in advance because I know some folks don't care too much for equipment threads but I hadn't seen one in a while so I figured it was time to get a new one going for this year.
I am considering taking up fastpitch again (not sure if that is in addition to or in lieu of SP) and would like to get an idea as to what folks are using for their plate gear. Going through my equipment, it looks like I definitely need to replace my chest protector and shin guards. I have a double bar mask that would probably be fine but I need new pads (I currently have tan/black
).
So, what does everyone recommend I look at in regard to gear? What should I avoid?
