I've gotten nailed 3 times this year, 2 in college games and today in a high school game. The first one hit just right and broke open the snaps that hold my throat guard on and spun my mask with me feeling almost none of the impact. The second brings this thought to mind - when you use a banana cup, make sure it is in right. The second one got me really square in the cup. The third was a pitch that got my forearm after skipping off the ground & the catcher. I use a double-wide stance in the slot and set up fairly high. I use all the gear, all the time, and when I get hit am awfully glad I've got it on.
