In general though, age matters. I have not been behind a 12 year old catcher lately, but would rather be behind a varsity high school catcher than a JV catcher. But having said that, my broken pinky finger about 8 years ago was behind a college catcher on an inside pitch that did not bounce, and he did not get a glove on it at all. So skill matters. I adopted GD shortly afterwards, and while I have been hit, I have not broken any bones. Of course I got hit before, GD just locks me in better for calling pitches, IMHO.
