Ah... If I get the Pro 9, I'm thinking of getting it at the same time. Might not use it right away, but I'd rather have it and not need it than the other way around.

The Diamond IX3 comes with it by default, which is what makes it a little more attractive.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

On a related note, my shin guards, mask and plate shoes should be waiting for me on my doorstep when I get home today.

NB450s, Pro 9 shin guards, and Diamond iX3 Feather Weight mask.

Just a little help on the Pro Nine CP. The little flap that goes under the shoulder cap, likes to move out from where it should be and it sticks up when you raise your arm. Just stick that little flap underneath the body of the CP. Works great. Dave

Went with the Pro Nine CP with all the trimmings. Better to have and not need than the other way around.

I bought the Pro9 two years ago....love it.

I did buy the extension, but I am 6' 7" tall and didn't want my belly exposed...If that was case, I would have just kept the Honig's K2!

Even though I have ample natural padding, I was just tired of getting hit in areas the K2 didn't cover.

Over time, it gets better, I have noticed. I had that problem a lot when mine was new, now it only happens once in a while.
