I went from the K2 to the Pro-nine last year.

The K2 worked fine as far as protection for the collarbone and sternum, but I got tires of those shots to the gut that stung for a little while. I like my new Pro-Nine.

I have heard from a reliable medical source that it only takes about 40 pounds of force to snap the collarbone. My opinion is that a foul ball straight back or even a high pitch that the catcher just doesn't get a glove on generates more than 40 pounds of force. Wear the equipment.
