I'm seriously thinking of buying one for next year. My question here is there anyone that uses one or knows of someone using one?
I love working the plate and think it will keep me in the game to use one. What do you think?
I should add that I am currently only calling FHSAA high school ball during the regular season, no more play-offs or "big" games. 74 years old and umpiring since 1958, near the end of my career.

If you think an outside protector would make the difference and
allow you more games and more enjoyment; then of course that is the way to go.
I don't know anything about outer ones, have not used a balloon since LL in 1984, so no tech help here.
With only 27 years SB plus 5 LL, I really admire your 55 years, congratulations.
