throat protectors?

[Hock9]

do you guys use a plastic throat protector on your mask? I've got the WV platinum (I took off that cumbersome chuck of foam at the neck area). Use a WV single bar mask. Got a foul ball in the "perfect" place, ie: just missed the bottom of the mask and just caught the top of the plastic on the chest protector. I wasn't hurt by it, and I've got the chest protector up pretty high at my throat, but there does seem to be the slight possibility that a foul ball can find its way between bottom of mask and top of protector. So I think I'm going to add the plastic throat extention. Other thought on this? I'm definitely adding one to my other mask, a double-bar PlusPos, since it's built-in extention is shorter.
