For softball, either.

For baseball, neither.

I've used a WV, a WV Platinum, and a WV Gold.

Currently, I use a Honig's K1 for everything from LL to college baseball.

Will the K1 provide the same protection as a WV Gold? Doubt it. I took a shot last year and I felt it. Wouldn't have felt it with a WV, but I feel it worth the tradeoff -- the K1 is light and comfortable.

I can't speak about the Davis protector, but I purchased the ProNine protector last summer.

I like it. It fits me well, and I'm a big guy. Don't bother with the bicep protectors though. They do not attach well to the rest of the protector, IMO. I've only used it through Junior League ball in Little League.

It is a much cooler, lighter CP than the Plus Pos CP I got a couple of years ago. If you go with the ProNine, just make sure you get the correct size for your build.

My feelings exactly. I've worn the WV Platinum for years, then tried the K1 and have never looked back.

K1's are worn on the Major League Level as well by a few guys. You cant go wrong, but the Wilson CP's are, overall, "more protective."

Rich, I have to agree with you. I have used the K1 for about 4 years now, it is light and fairly protective. I have taken a 80+ shot near the collar and I felt it. I have also been hit directly in the sternum and it took my breath away.

I purchased the $39.00 special WV on Ebay and have used it on a couple of occasions, but have yet to take a hit with it. So the jury is still out. I think I'll continue to use the K1 for anything below the HS varsity level.
