if you have any plans of moving higher than maybe 12U you should consider at least the wilson hardshells or just spring for the West Vest Gold or Platinum, you won't regret it.

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.

I agree with Clint, this is the best, most comfortable CP I've ever had.

I've had the Platinum, Gold and 2 Plus POS CP's and this All American is head and shoulders the best.

Hey all,

I have the V-Sport version of this CP and love it! I have the Pro-Nine and that is the reason I now use the V-Sport.

IMHO, the Pro-Nine is great for shots that hit in the middle of the larger pads or shoulder/collar bone areas, HOWEVER, baseballs that hit in the "break point" areas or on the smaller AND THINNER side pads HURT! Don't consider anything other than a hard shell CP. There are great ones out there for some good prices, you just have to search them out.

I have the V-Sport UPRO-17 and my friend has this one: http://www.smitteez.com/index.php?cr...on=show_detail He has the UPRO-15 and he loves his.

You can't beat a West Vest Platinum chest protector in my opinion. I bought it at Honigs for around $150 and it was WELL worth it.

so the pro nine I guess is a good CP. For $60 on Ebay I think it looks like a good CP to do U12 in. Would I be correct in saying that?
