New Douglas on EBay

[boyinr]

There is a NWT 13" Douglas on Ebay.

Sure glad I got mine from Douglas this spring when they still had some left in stock. If this sells for that price , I am going to regret wearing it though.

I just ordered a 15" from Douglas 2 weeks ago. It actually shipped today. It was about $120 so that $200 price is rather high, it seems.

[Kevin Finnerty]

I think all our new made-to-order Douglases are making this thing look like a theft.

There is NO WAY that it'll go for $200-plus.

Just email Jeff Cook:

I think they only have parts for the 15" left.

Edit: changed email address to stop web crawlers.

That doesn't make sense, since the 15 is a 13, with an extension......

I have a 15" it actually appears that the padding is probably made differently on the 15" and the 13". The padding on my 15" extends all the way to the bottom of the extended plastic piece.

Never seen a 13" so I can't say for sure.

maybe it's a padding issue??

Perhaps. I'll post a picture of mine when I get it on Wednesday.

no need, ...I have a 15 :D

Could someone take a pic of themselves with their douglass CP on? I just want to see how it fits.

[slo8140]

Look at post 45. Two pics from an old post I remembered. I think the guy is wearing a

13" or 14". I know it is not a 15"

Look at post #45

Ill stick with my WV Gold!

[rth54]

I love my Gold, but I would like something lower profile. I think that I will wait to see what All-Star comes up with. Alternatively, it will be interesting to see what the consensus is on the Schutt.

[iowacentral]

Yeah, I think I will be getting a Schutt for next year. Don't like the looks of the douglas.

good luck with that.. But I would read all of the reviews on here before you make your purchase.

This cracks me up ..... as Douglas was the first to build the Gold...... Now, I'm not knocking the Gold ....just sayin :shakehead:

Here are a couple of pics of the 15" Douglas:

Me too.

Since when did "looks" matter for a CP? You can't even see them.

Well, what I have seen so far not to bad. I am waiting to see if anyone else can give some more info after using it.

[boyinr]

It doesn't matter to me either way. I have a 13" Douglas and Wilson Platinum. They are both great for different reasons. I am fortunate to have both of these options at my disposal. Both of these have extensive game use at the highest levels (by others).

If, after some game use, it turns out that the Schutt is as good as either of these I will be impressed. There should be options for everyone to chose from. I am expecting the new All Star (when released) to compare very favorably to the Wilson Gold/Platinum and the Douglas.

Best of luck.

I like the way it looks with my shirt on... I don't look like a Linebacker with my douglas on.
