Gold vs Platinum - questions on throat/neck protection

[Rcichon]

If it's foul into the backstop, I may toss one to F1 while F2 retrieves.

Isn't that what on-deck batters are for?

I recently order a WV gold and new WV shins, will let ya know how they work out. My last set, WV original and WV shins, was purchased in 1997, and my question is will Wilson recondition them. Anyone had any luck getting theirs cleaned up and if so, what is the process?

Thanks

My experience: The cost of reconditioning plus the cost of shipping two ways nearly equals the cost of new shinguards.

Thanks for that info.
