How long has your daughter had her gear. It might be that the padding has squished down some. I know with my Under Armour gear that I'll be replacing before the start of high school season that my left knee will bruise and be sore for a few days after a tournament. My gear is over two years old and I have a tendency to drop to my left knee harder when I'm dropping down and I drop to that knee a good bit when I'm throwing back to the pitcher...especially with no runners on.

The gear is less that a year old there is no visible signs of ware. Shes had this problem with other brands less with this set maybe its just bony knees lol.

Yeah, that's a possibility too if she's had this problem with other sets. Has she tried wearing like a sliding sleeve for her knee or a neoprene sleeve?

Have you checked to make sure they fit correctly? Sounds like maybe they are hitting her in the wrong spot. Maybe she has grown enough that she needs the next size up? My DD had has calluses below her knee caps...

What model is the All Star gear? DD uses their System 7, which does have extra padding in the knee, and she loves it. Their Vela Pro model also has extra padding. Their more basic models don't have it.

I believe its the system 7 we had it sized in store and shes done growing, I was just curious if anyone has run across any extra padding to put on the gear. I suggested a light knee pad and she said she would just deal with it. Thanks for the suggestions.
