I now most often work 9 to 14 year old baseball, but hope to move up to high school baseball next year.

Does anyone think upgrading to GD-quality shinguards is worth it? If so, why? In other words, is there a significant risk of serious injury that upgraded shinguards might prevent?

Also, if I can only afford one new shinguard next year, should I get a left or a right?
I don't see why these wouldn't be just fine for the HS level.
