A friend of mine used the Hex Pad last year in a 14u game. 2 broken ribs. Personally, I agree with optimal protection. The alternative is just tough if that one ball gets you the wrong way. I must say, I had a tough partner...he did the bases with the broken ribs (which he didn't know about until the x-ray that night) and he watched me get hit, but luckily I had on the Wilson Gold.
