That’s understandable. A little bit of black nail polish would probably do the trick though

For sale is a brand new pair of New Balance V3 plate shows in the low cut. These have never been worn before. Asking $105 shipped. Note that I do not have the original shoe box for these.

For sale is a brand new Wilson aluminum frame with a new MLB harness and a set of once used tan Team Wendy pads. The Pads have been cleaned since the last use. Asking $80 shipped.

For sale is a Wilson Gold Team Wendy retrofit chest protector. The plates and pad are in great shape. Harness is included. If interested, send me a message and I can text more pics or info. I'm not quite sure if this is The small, medium, or large Wilson Gold but the pad is right at 13 inches long. The side "wings" have been removed. Asking $420 shipped. Please be aware: due to the location and hours of my job for the next few months, I may not be able to get to a post office while it is open during the week. If this is the case, I will ship on Saturday morning and I will communicate all of this to the buyer so that they are fully aware. Just thought this would be something good to know upfront.

@kylehutson I’d love to see that in person. I’m sure the picture doesn’t do the gunmetal grey justice. Especially With the sun shining on it.

But for those who have used zip ties, what are you zip tying to? In other words, what are you feeding the zip tie through to attach the plate?

I’m actually not in the market to Frankenstein one of these I was just curious how it was being don

This may be a dumb question but I saw @Razzer video on his Frankensteined F3 with Wilson Gold plates on it and I’ve read of other guys doing the same thing. Question is, how are you going about attaching the plates from the gold to the F3? I know Ray said it was just a couple of zip ties but I’m wondering how specifically these are attached.

I worked a summer league double header the other night with a partner that I hadn’t worked with before. After the game he gave me some pointers on my strike three mechanic. When I ring someone up, I very simply cross my arms in front of me and “start the gas powered whatever” if you will. It is very similar to what many of the younger major league umpires do. However, I keep my feet planted instead of taking a step back (something I have since noticed that many of the young major leaguers do). My partner told me that I should be taking a step back since keeping your feet planted opens up a greater possibility for umpire interference if the catcher were to throw down to second. I had never heard this before and wanted to see if anyone on here had ever heard or thought about this before.

Just give it some time to mold to you. Take a heat gun and mold that plastic. Also, be sure to move the shoulders around so that they protect but also allow for movement. I played around with the positioning of the shoulder caps on mine in front of my mirror for quite some time until I got them just right.

@MadMax I’m interested by you classifying the Wilson wraparounds as good pads. I thought those were mostly just foam stuffed into leather. Lacking the kind of advanced padding technology in the team wendy’s Or even the Wilson memory foams. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the Wilson wraparounds
