I am not happy that this CP gets over 420 replies and when I talk about my Locker room I get like 3 replies. So I have re-designed The Official's Locker Room. It now has a Kevlar lining. So if you

After reading this thread here are my thoughts. * It appears from these posts the unequal chest protector as shown in the video was a crude "beta" version of the CP. * According to several posts i

My season is essentially over on Aug 17...I'd really like to use it this season.

Have it shipped to me and I will let you know how good it works!

My season isn't over until mid/late November. I'd still be pissed. Wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't charged your CC until it shipped.

I forgot about that little nugget. Well at least it's paid for.

ZERO R.O.I. to date. They shouldn't have sold them without beind able to deliver. I understand production delays, but my goodness.

Why are there plastic caps on the shoulders?

Did any of you, who pre-ordered this thing, actually have your name put on, and now won't be able to return it if you don't like it?

Has anyone heard back on your orders, yet?

No info on our orders other than that we'll receive a tracking number when they're shipped.

I will not embroider mine...b/c I really want to know if it works...I will be using it for some D2 fall ball, that will be the big test. If I have the guts to use it in those games.

No, I will not be getting one with my name on it. I, like any smart person, will want to try it out first. As for the plastic shoulder caps kylejt, you already asked the question forever ago in this thread and I commented that it looked like they were the exo material (it looks like plastic) but would let everyone know once I got mine. Be patient, I know I am trying to be.

No updates yet. Jason said that we'd receive a tracking number when they get shipment. They'll go out the same day he gets them. They've done the best they could, but it is getting frustrating since this is getting to the end of my season.

I see, just wondering.

Very anxious to see what the first reactions will be :nod:

Glad I didn't pull the trigger. I'd be madder-n-dammit paying for something I didn't get.

I emailed again when he announced they would not ship August 1st. Said it was a part supply chain issue and he believed would ship before the end of August. I could not get anymore details than that. I only have a couple of weeks of summer stuff left, so I am hoping to get it in a week or so.

The Official's Choice has the same problems with getting their shipments from China. They just can't seem to predict when that container is going to hit the dock.

I truly hope it all works out, and this is a product we can all use. But just don't place it on your head, and flail a hammer at your noggin as it's first trial. Work your way up to that, but do take video of it.

two things-

I bought a honigs CP at the start of this, my first, season, simply because I didn't know any better. I purchased the unequal because of its very small profile, the customizable fit and of course for the advertised protection. In fact, I considered that I have taken a few high 80's/low 90's foul balls to the honigs and never, ever felt one. So maybe it has protection to spare. But then I thought, if I had to sell Honigs brand, I would stand in front of 90mph pitches ALL DAY LONG. Certainly not just one, and NO MATTER WHAT I wouldn't duck like Jimmy did. Did he really think we wouldn't notice? And all that screaming he does right after makes me think he's in shock from the "significant bruising".

but I bought it right away after I read on this forum that they would let us test the CP and return it if we too are significantly bruised. Especially since August 1 was fast approaching. Then this stuff with supply chains happened. Ok, $h¡‡ happens, BUT WHY DIDN'T THE PRICE JUMP AS PROMISED??? My sales instinct tells me its because this is a ploy. I understand these guys want there cake and eat it too, but its poor business. They shouldn't have charged my card yet. They shouldn't have promised delivery when it was not in there control. The "introductory price" should have gone up as promised.

and while I'm at it, I wrote jason a letter expressing my displeasure with the delay. My point was that I had planned to use not only the CP, but the plate brush I had ordered, and while I could still use the honigs CP, my plate brush died in the dryer and I needed it delivered right away. He said he would ship the brush by itself, he hoped in time for my tourney. That would have been last friday, it never came.

Edit: I wrote Jason an email along with this post. Today I received my (bad-@$$ Japanese) plate brush in an overnight envelope. I feel good.
