Just opened my Allstar System Seven CPU4000

[bluejerred]

In your opinions, would I be better off purchasing a Sys7 or retrofitting the Platinum?

I hated the system 7 it was too much for me. I have had all of the top of the line Cps except Douglas. I am going back to a platinum retrofit now.

Show us a pic of the 15" CPU 4000. Do you still have the tall shoulders?

​My pics at the beginning are the 15".

Other than adjusting the shoulder extensions out a little the tall shoulders are the same which fit me fairly well.

@Mudisfun I bought this CP last year and went through the same process you are now.  The first game or two I had it too tight and it was getting up into my throat.  A slight strap adjustment solved this problem.  I absolutely love this CP.  A few other guys in my association ended up purchasing this CP after they saw me wearing it during the high school season.

​I had what looks to be my last local summer ball game last night (nice to end on a high note, an excellent 3-2, 15U game with a home team walk-off win in the bottom of the 8th). As I was changing at my car I realized that not once all game had I even thought of my All Star CP - no adjustments, no shifting it around, etc., and in fact I couldn't really recall having to make any adjustments to the CP during a game all season, the only times I can remember even thinking about it was when I'd catch a bit of a cool breeze coming up the channel between the pads on a hot day.

I bought an extra set of padding so I can pull one off and toss it in the wash, and keep on going with the other padding.

I just had a WVP retrofitted and I can tell you that I've never felt safer behind the plate.  I have the DF harness on mine and it drastically changes how the CP forms to your body.  I've had a lot of different rigs including the UE-F3 and I don't think you can go wrong with the TW retro or the System 7.  I'm now trying to decide if I want to go back to the HSM...and if so, which one!
