Time to make the jump

[Jbpump15]

Well after taking a foul tip to the heart of my 9 year old Wilson charcoal and getting what felt like the worlds worst purple nurple. It's time to jump up. Reasonable suggestions?

I've never been hurt by a foul tip.

Potato, potato. Tomato, tomato. Foul tip, foul ball. Hell man, it bruised the poor guys nipple.

I would say ice it. Your nipple might become stiff, but that will go away as you warm up. If you are going to purchase a new chest protector, I would highly recommend the Force 3 Unequal with the Delta Harness by All Star. I had purchased the All Star System Seven and it felt good when I tried it on, but when I strapped on the Force 3, there was no longer a decision to make. I sold the All Star for a loss, but man I love that Force 3. I honestly don't remember being hit by a baseball yet and I am probably fifty games into the season, not all on the plate.

Oh, I have yet to have to adjust my chest protector yet during a game.

After 9 years, I;m sure you needed new padding at least.  Don't know if you can get just that for your chest protector.

[Fittske24]

I would recommend either a west vest gold or Douglas with added gap protection and T- hooks.

I have used a charcoal for at least four or five years with no problems. It does sound like worn out padding.

send your charcoal to be upgraded by TW.........or buy a platinum

Can't justify spending over a hundred dollars plus shipping to retro an 80 dollar cp. I think I'm going with a platinum and an eventual tw retro. Another question, does anyone know if the tw pads will fit a Wilson dyna lite frame?

Wait, ... $80 CP that's 9 years old ....took less than 2 games to pay for.  $120 shipped for brand new TW padding for it.    But you want to pay $150 for a Platinum?

 

TW pads will fit any standard frame

The Platinum is better protection, especially at the collarbone. Couple that with the TW upgrade, and a DeltaFlex, and you have the best rig around.

and there happens top be a very lightly used plat for sale in the buy/trade category

[kylejt]

If that were my size, it would have been in my closet already.

[th3]

too big?

[FearNot]

Get the WVG you deserve it!

[GreyhoundAggie]

I will swear by the platinum. It's an awesome chest protector. Going on 5 years for me and still in great shape.

Too small. I was refering the one with the TW retrofit.
