  1. I’d take this new Davis company’s products (they seem to have changed a lot lately) over Smitty in terms of quality on pretty much everything.
  2. It's been interesting seeing the significant sales/discounts of the Wilson Gold memory foam and "regular" padding chest protectors in the last few months from a few retailers. Seems like they might be having trouble commanding the MSRPs. +1 always loved All Star masks (never tried a CP or leg guards)
  3. Took a few years off about ten years ago - 2014 to 2016 (worked a small amount of high school in 16) then took some more time off and came back to a full high school schedule and few days a week summer in 2019. Some of it was due to work and the difficulty of sacrificing so much to make $65-70 a night and give up so much. I missed it and came back and have been working a semi regular HS schedule since then. For us amateur guys, I say take it or leave it and you only make it a priority if you want to. If you have family obligations or just want to sit around the house and not work, thats a personal choice. Gotta prioritize yourself.
  4. One of the things that frustrates me about the Smitty poly spandex is this - feels impossible to keep a crease and keep wrinkles out
  5. It is my understanding that the MLB guys are wearing the Smitty poly spandex pants. I always thought it was odd they don’t have a heavier cold weather option. I know when it’s cold here in the spring or fall I reach for my Honig’s polywools or the Davis Fechheimer polywools
  6. Isn’t the Douglas CP $230 retail? Why do you have it as “starting” at $289?
  7. Has anybody taken a good hit with this upgraded padding? Any reviews/feedback?
  8. I too have worn both - wore the big Wilson black shins for a while 15 or so years ago. The Douglas are a huge upgrade and much lighter and more comfortable. I’ve worn the gray Douglas shins since they reintroduced them (maybe 2013?) Ive also worn the gray Wilson shins and liked them better than the black Wilsons, but the Douglas has the extra protection above the knee and and feel lighter. Don’t let the price of the Douglas products scare you off it’s worth it. Think my Douglas are 17 and the other nice thing is they offer a few specific sizes.
  9. Another absurdly wonderful transaction with @wolfe_man
  10. These BFX shirts are tremendous wow.
  11. Never have seen either but the reviews have been incredibly positive
  12. Davis has an overstock sale going on right now, 30% off a wide selection of their BFX shirts.
  13. Lock it up @Thunderheads
  14. I will never understand all the love for Smitty products, especially these poly spandex pants.
