Best chest protector

[InsidePitch]

So DD pitches, plays SS and catches a lot for her Tourney team. I commented on her blocking and she said it hurts so I put on the protector (AllStar) and she was right it does hurt and she is a low 40mph pitcher. Anyone have a chest protector recommendation for 12U that will give her more protection?.

MY DD s catcher loves the Worth. DD pitches in the mid 50s and her catcher says the sting from a foul tip to the chest is much less compared to the other brands she tried.

Thanks SoCalDad, I will check it out. I was really surprised to find out just how little protection the two chest protectors we have offer. I have seen DD double over and collapse on her knees when a tip went just under the protector and caught her on the hip. Being an old lefty and never having caught myself I just figured they were all pretty much the same and dissipated most of the impact.

Easton Synergy is really nice, designed for girls. My DD has Stealth because it just fit better.

Also make sure she's rolling the shoulders forward when blocking. Even a crappy league cp works OK with some slack.

This is the current one my dd uses, and she likes it better than any of the others she's used also.

I think a trip to the store and a few balls bounced of the various is what will be required. Thanks.

Work or not....that Schutt just looks tough! That will be the next purchase!
