Hi guys, ...

Did a search and only found one thread on cups.

What does everyone prefer and why? I'm not going to include Under Armour here because I dont' see them on their site anymore, so let's do this:

Shock Doctor (which one?)

Nutty Buddy

XO

Other

Thanks......

I became a Nutty Buddy user this past summer/fall season.

Before that, I used the old Bike cup with the pouch.

The NB is far more comfortable and easy to install / remove. :)

I have the Shock Doctor Carbon fiber cup and really like it. I took one shot to the cup and between innings my partner asked if the ball hit me in the CP and I told him hit me in the cup and he said it sounded like the CP from the bases.

BTW you won't see the Under Armour one any more they recalled them due to shattering.

I like the Nutty Buddy, you can't even feel it when wearing it, and when you get hit, you can't even feel the pressure of the ball hitting the cup. It's amazing.

In the past I always preferred the traditional shaped cups (Banana Cup). I could not get used to the shape of cups like the XO and shock doctor. I found the Nutty Buddy this year and I love it. Much more comfortable to wear and the protection is amazing. You do not even notice it is there. I also love the fact that it is easy to remove and install. Wearing the extra supporter over my tights adds a layer, but it is well worth it. I can not imagine ever going back.

I was coerced into getting a Nutty Buddy this past summer by some friends on the board. Definitely the best investment I have made. Quick shipping, and an even better product! Just be sure to wear the cup the way the tell you to, and you won't have any problems. Great investment! Good luck!

The nutty buddy is a luxury cup, the quality and protection are everything you could ever ask in a cup. It replaced my Shock Doctor Bioflex. As soon as somebody from Shock Doctor literally stands behind their product, I'm stickin' with the Nutty Buddy thank you very much.

I had seen a lot of the Nutty Buddy videos before, but not the sport science one. It is a must watch. After watching it, I will feel more protected than ever when I wear my Nutty Buddy. Wow:wow:

This is the item that I have most trouble with...used XO, Shock DR., and Nutty Buddy. Nutty still rides up...yes I wear it over sliding shorts and under a standard jock(no pocket). XO and Shock Dr. both ride up...I played football thru college and my thighs are large and they just push the cup up out of the pocket in my tights/sliding shorts. I have worn my jock over my sliding shorts and that helps...just more layers under my pants to fumble with.
