Thanks Scott, do you have any fit problems with Platnium? I'm in Nashville and no one here has any of the Wilson's in stock. I hate to order not knowing if I can get proper rib coverage. When I measure according to info form UA, I feel like the bottom few  ribs would be exposed.

No problems at all.....is very comfortable, just took a. FOUL TIP straight back Saturday during a Varsity game, pitcher throwing high 80's...didn't feel a thing. How did THAT happen? :D

Right handed batter...I was in the slot, catcher decides to move way out to the right.....inside pitch, foul back, catcher no chance....hit me dead center....didn't feel a thing, crowd had the usual comments, catcher said "Sorry Blue...You OK?" I really like this CP, it is nice knowing you can lock in with the knowledge you are protected...Just glad this one didn't test my Nutty Buddy! LOL! :laugh:

Maybe you should have thought about an Unequal at least once during the game. Then you wouuldn't get hit.

I received my West Gold and was doing the adjusting it and taking off etc... I made my final adjustment when I found the strap that's on the bottom front that retains the waist strap t-hook from falling back was torn and hanging by a thread. Needless to say that I was very disgruntled!  

 

I gave a call to All Sports Officials where I bought it. They were out of stock last week but they have my replacement on the way with a return label for the defective CP.

 

UA was out of stock when I placed my order with ASO. But ASO took care of me and I happy with them. I'm upset with Wilson's quality to say the least!

Thats why I upgraded. Kept getting small bruises from the soft shell, I don't want to worry about it any more and focus on the job. :wave:
