Once you pick a helmet, I would also try to get a light color. NEver understood why so many helmets are dark colors, just turns them into little head ovens on hot sunny days.
Recommendation on fastpitch (16U) catchers helmet
I honestly don’t see many balls fouled back into Fastpitch catchers masks. I see many more in baseball.
That being said it only takes one to cause a concussion.
Well it’s good your DD wasn’t concussed. What helmet does she wear?DD took a nasty foul ball last fall, ball came straight back off of bat to face mask, ball hit mask head on, dropped in front of her. no concussion thank god, just stunned momentarily (came out of game, was checked by a trainer), did have a headache.
