shin guard recommendation

[FastPitchCat]

after seeing a pitcher being hit by a ball on her shin, this had me thinking DD needs shin guards.
she has a pair that she uses for batting but hates it as it seems to slip off.

any one recommend a good shin guard?

any one used this?

Used these for years-absolutely love them. DD has had the same set for 3 seasons and they have saved her from countless bruises and metal cleats as well.

There is no better protection on the market. The pros wear evoshield.

Based on my experience with other EvoShield products that my catcher-DD uses (thumb guard, wrist guards), I would expect the shin guards to be excellent.

One of my daughters took one to the shin when she was 11 or so, for the next few years she would slide her Mizuno or Nike knee pad down over her shin when she pitched, it worked fine. She grew out of that by the time she was 14 or so and got tired of wearing all the pads in the heat. She won't even use batting gloves any more.

same here. my dd is starting not to like wearing protective gear. but my DW and myself told her that it takes just one bad hit and that will be it.

i think i'll get the evoshields. DD has a heart guard from evo and it's pretty good.

thanks!

My daughter wears the evo shields. She is wearing the small size but I think the middle size would have offered a little more protection. She used to wear soccer shin guards but the evo shields are lighter and skinnier.
