Now that the season is over, I am already looking forward to the beginning of next season and I was wondering what new equipment all of you are going to look at buying

The "season" is not over here. I will probably get 10-12 games in during the Fall ball season. I thought I might have to buy some new plate shoes, but I took my Honigs high tops to the shoe shop and got new heels put on them for $16. I bought a new pair of base shoes in June, and have used them only once. I will retire my current pair of base shoes after the Fall season, or sooner if they fall apart on me. I ordered a pair of Gerry Davis shin guards in May but they were backordered. When told it would be October, I cancelled the order. Fall ball will be over by late October, and I already have 2 pair of shin guards. So I might try to order again in January (or continue to use what I have). Otherwise I am set and ready for next year.

I'll probbaly get some new stuff. I was thinking about getting a hockey style mask but i'm debating wheather i want one or not. I need new shin guards. I also have games during the fall season to do.

I am going to be looking to buy a new light weight mask. I am thinking of trying the +POS AUL300. I have used a helmet style mask and like it in spring and early summer games, but I feel it's a bit to hot during the hotter summer days.

As with every season, I will be adding to my uniform collection.

I will also be buying a new pair of plate shoes, my old +POS shoes will be turned out to greener pastures.

Couple new pairs of pants, a new powder with black coller shirt, plate shoes, black helmet and balck and blue ball bags. Maybe shin guards if I find some I like pretty cheap.

Where do you guys go to find new gear?? Seems like this time of year GerryDavis.com starts running out of my size.

O's 35,

Take a look at this link:

Honigs, Referee's Call in OKC, Ebay (rarely), Lester's Upstate, Gerry Davis (again rarely as he over charges for shipping)

POS is also a place you could go. They can be expensive and their site doesnt always work the best,but you could give that a shop.

Thanks guys, those links were very helpful. I should be able to find what I need at one of them. I wouldn't bother with fall ball this year if I didn't need new gear.

If you are in Canada, you can try World of Sports.

They can be found at worldofsports.ca
