@stk004 just has a big heart and wants everyone to be as honest as he is. - Seriously though, it's an unfortunate time in human history where a mans word isn't enough. We thank@Stk004 for trying and wish him luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think this is an excellent idea. As the article states, it's hard to move up because of the limited positions and retirements. That being said, why wouldn't you want the best officials on the field. Complacency is an umpires worst enemy. If they had to worry about their jobs each season, then I think as good as they are they would strive to be even better. It would give the younger guys a chance to get MLB experience and show the evaluators what they got. Just a humble HS Umpires opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I saw one today on a Wilson Shock FX. The buckets look really odd with a throat guard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will take them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did just such a thing today. One of the guys had a set of Shins that were too long for him. Since I just got the F3s, I sold him my old Honigs that were just right for him. There is a Facebook group called Umpire Waffles that raffles off gear. I just won a West Vest for $30. I borough three slots in the raffle. This gives me an opportunity to sell my backup CP to someone. Keep an eye out for discounted gear. You never know who might have gear stolen, or car wreck, house fire etc. Just my $.02 worth.

Ok so here we go. F3s are AMAZING. So light and snug. They didn't move one bit. Didn't have to adjust the slightest bit. I could move without feeling like Sasquatch. Took one shot and it felt like I bumped into something soft. I am definitely going to get a second pair! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well stated. Using them for the first time tonight! Let's see if they live up to the hype! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

BU in B/C runner on third, less than two outs. Fly ball down the right field line. Who has the tag?

After acquiring updated (new or new to me) gear, should I sell my spares? Thoughts?

I have used the F3 Unequal Chest protector for several weeks now. I have taken a couple good shots. One was to the collar bone area. It stung because it hit where the neck piece attaches to the main part of the CP. In my Champro ProPlus CP, I would have been making a trip to the ER with a broken clavicle. The other shot was to my left chest and straight off the bat. Felt the impact, but that was it. Again one that would have stung in my other CP. The fit has been pretty good, however the straps have to be almost all the way taken in because I am a smaller guy. I am switching from the stock harness to the @Razzer RayFlex harness. I will let everyone know how this works for me as it will be used for the first time tomorrow (Provided it doesn't rain us out). I can't say enough about the Customer service I received from Force3 when I need replacement parts. They were eager to help, and provided the requested gear free of charge. That speaks volumes to me on the value they put into me and their gear. Thanks for taking a look!

I wear two. When the left is empty, and right only has two I request 4. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello all, So I had this all done earlier at work and my IT Department has decided to ban anything to do with sports. So needless to say as I hit submit, the blocker took effect. This may not be as eloquent as earlier. I hope I get everything said that I want to. This is a short comparrison... It is not a full review as I have yet to use them on the ballfield. But this is what I noticed from handling them and working with them over the last couple days. The Honigs are wider, and not shaped to contour to your leg. The F3s are slimmer and contoured in a manner that your leg is cupped by the guard even before the straps are latched. The padding is a lot thicker in the Honigs, but in my experience can be very hot. The F3s appear to be lighter, airier material. The padding is removable in both guards, but the F3 has a layer of padding that remains on the plastic shell where the Honigs do not. Both have 4 straps in similar placement on the guards. The F3 straps are tight being that they are new, so at this time the comparrison on movement will have to wait until I can wear them. That being said, just strapping them on, the contour of the F3 shell doesn't allow for much spin when strapped in. The F3s are a whole lot slimmer. I managed to get my dress pants over the F3s. Wouldn't have happened with the Honigs. I am also looking forward to the [mention=1907]Razzer[/mention] Shin harness. He is a fellow umpire for those who don't know that has a line of gear, harnesses, lineup cards, mats, stools that he customizes with names and etc. Check out his facebook page Umplife. https://www.facebook.com/groups/307083899500685/ Overall my initial impressions are favorable. I can't wait to try these out and see if they are worth the money. It may take me the rest of the season, but we will see.
