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.

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.
