I’m rocking a cap crease on the bases. Wearing a helmet on the plate now. But to put this back on track I just saw John Tumpane wearing these. Those are very sweet.

Free to someone that can use them. I have 3 Smitty black shirts; L-LS, L-SS and M-SS, a Smitty pull over-L and a Majestic Themabase jacket-L. All are in very good condition. I am moving to a an area that does not wear these. Here’s the catch. You cover my actual cost to ship them to you. (hangers not included).

1. All Star Colbolt F3 or the Adams XV with an F3 harness 2. F3 shins. 14”. Nothing else works as well for me. 3. All Star FM4000MAG or Nike Icon with TW pads. 4. All Star Scully. Just started using it but I like it. 5. All Star cast 4 dial Indicator. Also functions as self defense tool. 6. Mizuno Plate shoes. Reebok FMs were the best. Why couldn’t Simittys copied these? 7. Jordan’s if the field is clean. 8. Diamond MMA or Nutty Buddy. I switch. I trust both. 9. EBags Mother Lode. 10. Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ with the field lenses I have all of the above (and more) as I am very fortunate. Admittedly have not dipped my toe into the newest GD gear. Missed out on the last custom Kuta. Waiting for the next release. I really feel we are in the golden age of equipment. We have a lot of options that we didn’t used to have.

I am using the AS UMP with a FM4000 MAG and a Nike TI Icon with TW pads. Both have standard harnesses on them. I have used this set up now for about 8-10 games. I actually like it more than I thought I would. I feel it’s better vented than a hat, the mask seems to sit better on the helmet, I like the short visor and I really don’t notice it once the game starts. I think I am sold. YMMV

I have the Jordan TRunner. I like them. It’s a running sole not a turf sole.

In the words of Bill Engvall-"Here's your Sign". Had to know it wasn't going to get better. Sorry you had to suffer that fool. I agree with others, his resume was likely suspect at best.

Just like the casinos. The dealers make squat and the house always wins.

It’s highly likely that I can call an ABS zone a lot easier than they can pitch to one. Be very careful about what you want. You might just get it.

I cut my hair with clippers without the guide (< 1/16”). I am thinking you have a first world problem.

My first game is in the books too. I really didn’t notice it after the game started. I wore a A-S scully with an FM4000 Mag mask with the traditional harness. Took a little getting used to pulling the harness over the extra width of the helmet.

After watching the video and reading the posts I bought an All Star helmet. I honestly never thought I would go with one. I’m going to give it honest try. For me it’s like the dangling TG. Why take a chance? So far it’s been pretty easy to wear and get used to.

I have a pair of Adidas Code Chaos that I keep for cold damp spring days. They are far more water resistant than any other regular base shoe. I bought them on close out also.

This is what I do when I wear mine. I find this a small irritant compared to the combination of light weight, cooler, the two straps and relatively protective. Being on the less tall side I would like them a little shorter (14-15").

Looking for a friend. Prefers silver. Black would be okay too.

I have always thought that the material was fairly brittle and this was a likely outcome. I have mine on a chopped Mizuno and for that reason I have a spare Wilson 6” TG in the bag. Usually I also have a second mask too.
