  1. Decided to don the new rig last weekend. Felt great. Looks good.
  2. I’ve had my vest in hand for about a week or two now so I wanted to give a review to Mr. @Umpiresrock74. First off, this was my first time interacting with him and can tell he geeks out over everything umpiring. I saw that he was a special guest at one of my assigner’s camps. He texted me probably everyday he had my Power, if not almost everyday. He was very excited to work on it and I appreciated his enthusiasm. He sent me a bunch of progress pictures and I was able to talk with him about any tweeks I wanted or any improvements like the fidlocks, removing the excess wings, etc. The materials used were closed cell foam on the outer most layer, unequal Kevlar in the middle layer, and a thin layer of closed cell foam on the inner most part of the protector. It totals half an inch thick. To compare this, I have a number of chest protectors: Force 3, an original Douglas West Vest (1996), All Star Cobalt (Main vest for last year), and recently started using a Team Wendy West Vest. The feel and responsiveness of the materials reminds me very much of the team wendy. The appearance is also very similar. One of the most important things to me with this project is that the materials would contour to my body and form, Mike really did accomplish that. The profile when I tried it on, was very good and maybe even a little better than the other chest protectors I use. Mike did a good job of putting this all together for me. He used a professional seamstress and cut all the materials himself with love. I am super happy with how this turned out and he gave my Power a new life. Thanks a bunch, Mike!
  3. I tried this and didn’t love it. The jacket of the adams has a much wider profile who messes with the spacing of the douglas
  4. Or you can do what my barbers do. They raise their prices when they get too busy. Then the ones who want the service will still pay. Then once they get too busy, they raise again.
  5. I trashed it because I use force 3 now. I am of the opinion that since it was used for a couple years that it was past warranty and a manufacturer would say “it did it’s job by stopping the ball”. If it were firm game, probably a different story.
  6. Once you bend it, it’s never as strong as it used to be. I’ve had the same thing with a wilson TI I was going to get bent back and decided against it.
  7. I have a pair. I’ll send pics when I get home.
  8. I have a force 3, I’d like to trade for a black all star mag
  9. Black jacket with grey shoulders modeled after the one you see in the MLB and the NCAA Championships. Size small but runs large. I wear a Medium or Large depending. Worn about 5 times. Great condition. Asking $40.
  10. What size shin guards? They have 14 and 16. Not 46. Thanks
  11. Need a neck piece for a force 3 chest protector. PM me if you have one for sale. Thanks
  12. Just saw one go up on facebook. Probably extra innings by outwest.
