  1. Samurai IS SET UP IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL SHOVEL
  2. I have done lots of work on TW retrofit cp's and I can to the same conclusion that if you take a shot you will feel it and some will hurt. Some of the pro umpires confirmed this.
  3. That is one selling point that it looks traditional...it had to be but I also played around with a true 4 point mask harness that still might work
  4. One difference is comfort and fit and it is made to look traditional unlike the catchers rig you are using..my Mask harness is used in MiLB and MLB because it works and looks traditional Hope this helps Ray
  5. The New Flex CP Harness is a change from my original and offers a true 4 point connection with excellent support and comfort. Already being used by MLB Umpires Adam Hamari, Phil Cuzzi, Todd Tichenor and Tom Hallion with more orders coming in everyday, MiLB umpires have already been ordering the new Flex It will fit any 4 point connection harness on the market today The old harness was really a 3 point connection with the top straps being one point of connection which was worn tight to the neck and snug on the sides. Guys were wearing them too tight all round causing undue stress to the neoprene which sometimes resulted in tearing or breakdown. The New Flex is a true 4 pointer and has contour for the sides which will take the stress off the neoprene when worn correctly. Tight on top, snug on the sides. Available in Black/Grey Trim or Grey/Black Trim
  6. $37.00 Name Only $42.00 Full Custom
  7. Last Sunday I was in Toronto visiting Crew 8 Hallion Cuzzi Tichenor and Hamari who all use my old CP harness The crew are all using my new UL FLEX CP and Mask Harnesses Hallion did not even consider waiting until his next plate job, he asked me to fit it for him and the mask harness. I launched this new product today and have been at it all day doing custom work for umpires all over the US If anyone would like to know more or order just shoot me an email Regards Ray UMPLIFE
  8. They are a very nice option to the Majestic They fit great and have the same look and feel to the Majestic
  9. both materials can be used for protection products, I personally think the ABS works better. Hell you can cut up a mud flap and make that work if you have the right kind of rubber
  10. Holes in the TG are more oval and just to big for the post and IMO too long. Thicker shorter post will work but the Chicago screws are a much safer option
  11. Game Day Can you tell me what the temperature was when this happened. It could be a factor with the material used for this product
  12. I'm a doctor Jim, not a mechanic Yes it would make it safer
  13. NO IDEA MAN JUST A HOCKEY GUY Male .5" Female .25"
  14. not sure it failed, I believe it is just the wrong hardware being used. I always thought the same with the real shovel...replaced it day 2 with Chicago screws much safer IMHO
  15. Video is far to large to upload You can see the Samari/Mizuno Bolt and nut and the Chicago screws One thing i noticed about the bolt and nut is when you tighten it up it still has lots of play If you were wearing this TG with a mask with a normal rake extension nothing would have happened and the TG would have not shattered. The OP was wearing a non extended mask and the TG would have some play and movement back and forth. The batter swings and fouls the ball off the shovel 80-85 mph was the pitch speed so it most likely gained a few mph and could changed flight path before it impacted the left quadrant of the mask or TG The bolt/nut has some serious play when you make it tight and if the bolt was impacted at an angle it would torque and bend with most of the pressure being on the screw hole which is more oval than round . Hope this makes sense? I am not convinced this TG is a good idea to use with a non extended mask because of the Bolt/Nut combo and the holes being more oval than round. Poly carbonate can shatter and I am sure a more flexible ABS semi rigid but pliable may be a better option moving forward I also suggest replacing the bolt/nut with Chicago screws Image one I can spin the left side 360 Bolt/Nut I cannot spin right side Chicago male/Female screws
  16. I am trying to do a video for everyone. I think I know why the STG shattered
  17. Not a rumor, i am working on it. We are testing 3D PRINTING and considering paying a mold charge for injection molding. New Plate Brush is also in the works
  18. They will hold up very well and they will be safer...Think hockey helmet
  19. Mizuno is ABS Samari is poly carbonate Both are good but I am thinking the ABS will have more flex when impacted. Might be one of those perfect shots and the Samari did the job Not a fan of the screws used and mine will be getting new Chicago screws
  20. I had an email early Wednesday confirming shipping Your order has been shipped and is on its way. This order has a tracking number so you can follow its progress. Thanks for shopping with us. See you soon! Order No. 10101 Placed on Mar 31, 2019
  21. I am too busy to do this right now Not hard to do once you line everything else up
  22. I just had a delivery of one First impressions...not bad Second look at it I would not play road hockey in this rig I could snap this cheap plastic in a few bends Velcro used is worse than the Dollar Stores sells Foam Pad is ok so may use this pad as a project to thin out my Gold Harness sucks
  23. I used the Majestic size charts for the convertible jacket 95% POLY WITH 5% SPANDEX for some give and stretch
  24. Max nailed it Great idea for Canadian Fall Ball...lol The clear dangler will also shatter just like Plexi Glass when a puck hits at the perfect angle You also are stationary when umpiring and just the sound of getting hit would scare the life out of you. As for the bib....they do not work for protection...more for skate cuts and they are hot as hell
  25. Might be an all black version or both We will see how the samples look wear and feel before I make a big order
