Shin Guards for Softball/Low Level BBall

[AL-Ump]

Heya folks,

just wanted to let you all know of a trend in Softball - lots of guys are moving to an inline hockey shin guard like this one:

I got my pair in the other day and will be selling my Force 3 shins shortly.  For SB, they are just too much.  Even though I'm doing D1 SBall, the hockey shins perform very well.  They are light and comfortable, very low profile.  I actually wore them tonight with my base pants as I accidentally left my plate pants at the house.  They also wrap around your knee like a knee pad.  I think the protection is enough for low level baseball and might be a good alternative to some of the expensive models that are out there.

Just sharing knowledge!

How much space is there between the bottom of the pad and the top of your plate shoe? Also, where are the seams in comparison to your leg? Is the CCM part over your knee, or just below it with the QLT part over your knee?

QLT is on the knee.  I push the pads down so that they are on top of my plate shoes.
