    Gear help for a very thin catcher

    My DD is 13 and is 5'7" and around 100 lbs maybe. She is thin and her gear is mixed. She wears... Wilson Pro Stock helmet(S-M), and it's done a remarkable job at not concussing her. UnderArmor (14.5", made by All-Star I think) All-Star System 7 Legs (16.5") We just went through having to...

    Batter Interference

    Yeah. Protest. Should have gone to that first. It was a losing effort anyway, and by the time the dust settled, I was tossed for suggesting he read a rule book one time. The catcher was crying so I figured I'd cheer her up a bit by fully backing the play and take the heat from all the...

    Batter Interference

    We have an umpire that refuses to learn the rules of the game. His pride won't let him be wrong, and he wants the game to be played his way, and it's pretty pathetic. We had a team that was stepping out of the box after every pitch. Even with a runner on second trying to steal or on third. The...

    Wilson Pro Stock Leg Guards

    Yep. End of saga. The WIlson's finally came in, but were too wide and bulky for my daughter's legs. We ordered the All Star system 7's in 16.5 and haven't looked back. The Wilson legs were wider and not as flexible as the All-Stars, so they just swallowed her legs, but she has a very slight...

    Wilson Pro Stock Leg Guards

    Okay. So I ordered the Wilson's from Wilson. Waited through the Texas freeze UPS delay. It took nearly 2 weeks to get them here. The box on my porch was too small to be legs. They shipped a football. Not a nice football. Had it been a top end football, I could have come out ahead. No dice cheap...

    Wilson Pro Stock Leg Guards

    At 12 years old, my DD outgrew her 16" Promotions this winter. She's all legs. Now I guess we have to use baseball shins? It's a little disappointing that Jen Schro who I believe is listed at 6 feet tall(?) put her name on shins that only go up to 15". I have a set of Wilsons on the way.

    Rawlings MACH Jr. Catcher Helmet Review

    Thanks for the awesome review. I'm really going to have to check out that chin strap up close. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Needing a new, custom catchers mitt. Thinking about getting a custom Marucci.

    Where is our catcher's glove measurement database? Sounds like a job for Eric. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    SCORE!! - Wilson ProMotion chest protectors

    Well, at $37 shipped for new 16" Pro Motion shins in her color (royal blue) I pulled the trigger. We'll see if she likes them. She gave them the side eye when I showed her the picture and explained the lack of plastic on the thigh. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    New to catching - advice on gear needed

    Yeah. The irony is not lost on me.

    New to catching - advice on gear needed

    He was working on fielding and situational drills. I'm not sure if he saw much of the catcher work if any at all. She seemed to catch the 14" ball all right when they had her pitcher working with one. I'm hoping this doesn't come up again and it'll be a funny little anecdote between my...

    SCORE!! - Wilson ProMotion chest protectors

    One thing I've noticed between baseball and softball leg guards is that baseball adds an extra "plate" between the knee and the thigh cap. I'm guess because the ball is smaller.?. Since she's moving out of the 14.5" shins, it looks like we'll be forced to use the baseball shins if we go with...

    Mitt for 10U

    Walmart dot com has the 33" Xeno left hand throw for $50. I've only messed with them on the shelf, and they seemed stiff (which to me is a good thing). Open web, single hinge, finger hood. What's not to like for that price? LHT Xeno Catcher's Mitt link

    New to catching - advice on gear needed

    So, last night, my DD's new coach, she just moved up to 12U, looked at her All-Star CMW3000, and said it looked too small. She needed to get a 34" glove. She turned and looked at me and smiled like "Yeah sure. We'll get right on that ;-)" And, as far as I know, the 33.5" in All-Star might...
