Shin Guards needed

[SanDiegoSteve]

Then you won't like my Douglas Shin Guards. I love them, squeaks and all.

I love my Honig's K30 - HONIG'S ELITE EXTENDED LEG GUARDS !

I am on my second set, passed my first set down to my son.

I like the extra guard above the knee. I use the Gerry Davis Stance/System, and I can hid my hands behind it. The ball hits the upper guard, and bounces over my hands or around my forearms.

The protection is excellent up through adult baseball, and they also last a long time with regular care.

I love another hockey hand-me down. I love the thick elastic straps that don't bite into my leg. I love the simple velcro closure better than metal hook closures that may come undone. I guess the rest is comparable to any other model.

that comment was uncalled for and rude.

Also Dave, i have had one person say they use black socks that go over the calf, and they work great. I dont know i about wearing tights, but the long black socks will def. work for me.

Find the long Nike or Underarmor socks. They are thin, stretch high and stay inplace after many washings. But then you'll need compression shorts to wear down to knee. Much more comfortable beneath a jock than cotton underwear. Also helps prevent the RASH caused by chafing and the jock straps from climbing up your ***.

Before spending a lot of money on equipment remember that you’re 15 years old and still have quite a bit of growing to do. Shin guards purchased today may not fit you properly in a year or 2. Ask around, you may have some umpires in your area who have purchased new gear and would be willing to pass along or sell their old stuff at a reasonable price. I’d also point out the you’re not likely to see anyone throwing a fastball with any real heat on it yet. Make your purchases accordingly.

For that matter you can probably ask around and find a decent pair of catcher's guards that will do very well for you. That way you can save your money or invest in the mask and chest protector which are really the important pieces.
