  1. Get one of those from a Japanese website.
  2. YES, what Slo8140 said, .... back off. 10 games worn BEFORE I reviewed it. Don't be a hater because you weren't involved Lighten up...a little sensitive aren't we? Very sensitive.
  3. Stuff breaks: That's life.
  4. I think you and I have different Wilson bags, but this is how I use mine: Since the top, central compartment is the easiest to get to, I keep my Douglas, Diamond Featherweight LGs, and Diamond mask there. Plate shoes in the sealed shoe section, and hats, accessories, and base shoes in the zippered section on the opposite end of the bag. Numbers and patches are tucked inside the hidden velcro pocket. Since I barely need the bottom compartment, and I those zippers are difficult to work with, I keep misc junk in there, like extra undergarments and accessories, socks, rulebooks, sunscreen, and other papers. It truly is a waste of space, but I like to travel as light as possible because I never like to keep this bag in my car overnight. I used to keep my shirts folded in there too, but nowadays I just take the shirts out of my closet on my way out, and hang them in the car. Getting in and out of that part of the bag can be frustrating. My bag never came with dividers but I see no use for them. I don't like the mobility of this bag. It doesn't stand on its end, the nylon handles are not comfortable, and the bag can tip-over if you accidentally drop from a curb or step at an angle. This bag is also bulky, has an inflexible base, and in my opinion, better suited to simply camp in your trunk all season long.
  5. I have twice ordered from this site.
  6. From the beginning, it sounds to me like he has it on too tight.
  7. This is the only thing I'm worried about wearing my Reeboks. They are light, comfortable, and I love the look. I want to try a Mizuno next, and I'm not too fond of any NBs soon. The sole looks too flat.
  8. Sorry you're having a terrible experience with them. I had one encounter with them, and I will try to be objective: In Feb 2010, I met with Ken in person when I was in town. He let me try on a shirt and pullover, and had a CP ready for me to wear too. However, he forgot to bring the exact sizes in the colors I asked for, and so he offered me free shipping. His sales rep called me the next day, verified my order, and charged my card. My order came promptly, and this is what I got: Cream shirt, Black pullover (white stripes), and Black pullover (powder stripes) The shirt was $20, smooth like a Smitty, but rather thin and not very durable. But the pullovers are my favorite! They were $40 each, much cheaper than other sites at the time. They are thinner and lighter than any other jacket I've worn or seen, so that makes them perfect for cool nights and mild mornings! I still use those jackets today when necessary.
  9. The best feature, in my opinion, of the K1, is that is fastens using velcro straps, instead of any buckles or hooks. I wish more CPs did this.
  10. I somehow ended up with a one-inch crack on one of my Diamond Featherweight SGs. It separates the single-knee cap plastic from one of the rivets. Nothing I'm worried about at the moment.
  11. Each online retailer has basic packages. Start there.
  12. This happens to me. Diamond Silver Featherweight mask + Smitty shirts = pilling left sleeves. I just noticed that I have two shirts of Letrell. The scarlet is thicker, feels like a dish sponge, and is very uncomfortable during a hot game. On the other hand, I regularly wear a black Letrell that is much thinner and has not pilled like the Smittys.
  13. Because I'm too lazy to iron, I prefer shirts that stay wrinkle-free and light, so that said, here is my opinion: Dalco is my least favorite because I can never get wrinkles out. Letrell shirts stay straight, but they are too thick for my comfort. With Official's Choice, I can never match my partners. Smitty shirts look great, but they are starting to come apart. Honig's, so far, is durable, but doesn't stay tucked in. My favorites are Teamwork and the new Majestics. Both aren't too thick, and never wrinkle after hanging!
  14. Gerry Davis' feel like plastic tablecloths. Smitty pants feel better, and PWs are simply the best.
  15. Even if it's only been worn 2x, ...why would you pay that amount for something used,, when a new one is just a touch more.... To some people a dollar or 2 makes a difference. "Item location:Rancho Santa Fe, CA, United States" Here, dollars grow on trees.
  16. Midwest Ump has a nice blog full of product reviews and comparisons. I own the Diamond Leg Guards, and I love them. They are lightweight and slim, but they don't protect the sides as well as others, and you have to wear them very tight.
  17. going to have to go with p1timeblue here ....most of the feedback I've seen on the PWs is a partial dry, then hang dry with no problems... Yeah, they may look imperfect straight out of the washer, but give it overnight, and they'll look great!
  18. I've only used my new base PWs for about 20 games this season, and I have yet needed to iron them. I just hang dry and they look good to me. YMMV.
  19. Yes, leg guards over the tongue. My pants were getting caught on the loops on the back of the shoes, so I cut off those loops.
  20. Thanks for the feedback. I think the diamond bags have only the attached handle on the long bag and the extension handle on the shorter bag. Speaking of handles, the Wilson only has no telescoping parts.
  21. Instead of waiting around for pics, maybe you can experiment for yourself. When I got mine, I noticed for myself that the guards were loose. So I undid the laces, pulled the guards up tight, and relaced them. They've been working great since, and I didn't need to sit around and wait for others' pics. I fixed my own problem.
  22. Geez, it's just a shirt, why the CIA interrogation about substantiating info or supplying sources?
  23. Hi Frick, can you substantiate your findings or tell us your source ? Thanks...http://stores.intuit...1-CB/Detail.bok Geez, it's just a shirt, why the CIA interrogation about substantiating info or supplying sources? I agree. I'm a big fan of people finding their own solutions. I'm in no need for a new Polo Blue shirt, so I'm not going to buy it. I'll wait for others to buy it first and give their observations. Pause, Read, React. Don't confront.
  24. What was wrong with it?
  25. Can not tell by the pic if you have removed this plate or are tucking it under the plate on the shoe. If you havent simply cut it off, with plate shoes it is not needed. This is a good change the Wilson folks made... probably with some input from Jim Kirk and us. On the newer models, this is now removeable without having to cut it off. I love this snip from the UA Shin Guards Buying Guide: "Some are simply attached with Velcro (Diamond DLGiX3) and others can only be cut off with a sharp instrument (Wilson Pro and Charcoal styles). If the latter, please cut responsibly and preferably without your leg attached."
