I use a Wilson Platinum that I had originally bought for high school and adult league baseball. Maybe it's overkill for some of the softball games I work, but I'd rather be overprotected than underprotected. It's virtually bulletproof and hard hits just bounce off of it.
I'm looking at getting the new Schutt XV. It's a hardshell, but lighter than the Platinum, plus it has ventilation that should make it cooler.
