Then it's not adjusted / being worn properly.

wearing the previous CP was the last time I wore it. Ordered the Wilson Platinum, learned how to wear it properly and have been happy and unhurt ever since.

Please, no Balooneys!

I even discourage my Junior Umpires from wearing it. I donated my old CP's for the Minor League Umpires to wear.

A return to the ballon protectors seems foolishly retro to me, but I would like a return to those cool retro two-stitch beanie plate hats.

You mean the ones that make you look like a penis.
