Cool, I found something along the lines of what I want. I think this could be cool as long as it's not "gigantic" if I had this a maybe some more thigh protection I'd be really happy. http://www.elitemma.com/bellypadbuckle.html I love the humor in the knight suit too....Hey now if i could wear it I would!!

What do you guys think of rigging up that schutt back protector as some kind of "stomach helper..." I don't see the reason for taking 85mph's in the stomach to prove I'm cool....I'd rather protect myself so can you see this "working?" Also i was thinking of making my own belt kind of thing stacking up like 2-4 of those pro nine extensions No pain umping!!

Hi there, I read somewhere that someone found a plated chest protector extension...the guy used velcro to add some extra lenght to his platinum or something. Can you guys link me a few "nice" plated extensions or something? I have a platinum BTW... I was told by a mentor that he never gets hit in the stomach etc...sure enough my first game tonight, a ball hits the batter in the helmet and then comes into my unprotected stomach area.... It only stung but it was also only going 50-60mph......I don't wanna see what 80-100mph will do......so if i can have the protection, I want it. I belive the more gear I have th ebetter job I'll do because I won't be scared at all to get right up there and stay there etc, without flinching at all to do the best calls I can on balls and strikes..... Thanks for all the comments on my other questions so far..... Please link me a few extensions.... I can't find any I'm sorry...

Hi guys, I got the wilson titanium face mask and a richardson plate cap...can i get some advice as to what I should be aiming for when adjusting my facemask. I've heard that you want the mask to have some give etc so that the mask gives a little when struck by a baseball.....I'd like ot hear how you setup your masks basically and any advice you could give me is appreciated. I just got into umping and I've only done 1/2 an inning on the bases...But I have nice gear etc and have been browsing this community for awhile. Thanks for any and all input..... P.S. while we're at it I have the wilson platinum chest protector and was wondering what to be looking for when adjusting that to my body.... Thanks guys... John
