Cavalier1948 Posted November 1, 2021 Report Posted November 1, 2021 We’ve got a thread for cool masks, but not for CP. Post away with your customized, rare, or just favorite CP that you wear, as well as what was done to it Quote
Scissors Posted November 1, 2021 Report Posted November 1, 2021 Sure. 15 in Douglas with RayFlex harness and 15 inch +Pos BB2000 with F3 harness. +Pos hasn't gotten much use from me even with the better harness. 2 Quote
BLWizzRanger Posted November 1, 2021 Report Posted November 1, 2021 Every time I see POS the first thing I say to myself is Piece Of Shat. I have no knowledge if this is true for the CP, but still...Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930AZ using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Back in the day, +POS used to be THE COMPANY TO HAVE. But because of some poor business practices and terrible customer service over the years, the company has become a bit of a joke in the umpire community. I still, for some reason, have a bug up my butt about wanting a +POS Cobra. But I know I will never get one because I don't have the time to wait for them to ship it to me. 2 Quote
The Short Umpire Posted November 3, 2021 Report Posted November 3, 2021 I like the idea of this thread. Here is one of mine. It is the body of a 13” champion with the shoulder pads of a Wilson platinum and a retrofit to accept a force3 extension. I have some others that may or may not make the thread. I have a tw gold in transit to me now. 3 Quote

ArchAngel72 Posted November 3, 2021 Report Posted November 3, 2021 Whomever thought Frankenstein or his bride were "porn" material they gotta be some sick twisted folk... Brings a warm fuzzy feeling to my heart it does... 😆 Sadly no pics of my bone stock rigs one champro pro plus unit one AS S7 unit Quote

Sweet rig This was one a former MiLB umpire (who it was escapes me right now?) But that is a Mizuno Samurai catcher cp, WV Gold carapace, and Force3 shoulder caps. I believe the harness is a UL. I've been chasing this dragon for years wanting to recreate it! Lol 2 Quote
BT_Blue Posted November 4, 2021 Report Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) All American 15" (The neck area has been repair with a strip of nubuck.) All Star Cobalt Prototype (Not pictured is that i moved the small under arm pads down to the bottom. Basically recreating the rib extended plating from the System7.) Edited November 4, 2021 by BT_Blue Noticed made changes. 3 Quote
Thunderheads Posted November 4, 2021 Report Posted November 4, 2021 Ok, great idea for a topic @Cavalier1948 !! And this is not directed towards you, but ...TO EVERYONE ELSE.... before this goes TOO far, let's try to keep this forum here for photos and quick descriptions of your CP. I ask this so that different information regarding CPs, how they work, opinions, reviews, how to fix them, trick them out, what have you- does not get lost within this thread. Does that make sense? Any ideas, or thoughts, please send me a private message. This is the same concept used within the 'Mask Porn' thread. When you use the word 'porn' ...it should be focused on 'photos'. Again, any further ideas etc, ...please send me a private message. So, as for now, let's keep this thread to photos and brief explanations 3 Quote

I doubt it will get to the crazy size of the mask threat (54 pages in just under a decade of existence). But it would also be a shame to loose it in the muck. Quote

Scissors Posted November 5, 2021 Report Posted November 5, 2021 Sent my Douglas in today to have gap protection, t-hooks, and a black pad instead of a blue pad added. Anyone got any cool Douglas CPs in here? 1 Quote

I saw a Wilson Gold at my local PIAS for $60 and was super tempted to buy it and try and fashion my own at some point. But pretty sure my wife would kill me if I did. Since I will probably be taking a year (or part of a year) off next year. Quote

Replacematt Posted November 7, 2021 Report Posted November 7, 2021 While no pic is needed, the Cobalt is made from HDPE. I prefer the exposed CP under my plate coat, but rules are rules, so knowing that the logo can be safely removed with rubbing alcohol was a big plus. Quote
