Game on!
Just buy hockey goalie equipment and when you pitch run towards the batter.
If anyone has HUGE calves, the Adidas Ghost Guard XL shin guards may be a valid solution if you're looking at soccer style. I've been using Nike Mercurial Lite XLs for the past few seasons, and those fit great. I got the Ghost Guards to try something a little different. The pads themselves are about the same, but the sleeves are a lot bigger.
Can you post a pic of yours? There are so many different ones shown when I searched, so I want to be sure I get the right ones.
Thanks
The ones that the sleeve is too big. The pad itself is almost identical... maybe a slightly softer cushion.
My calves are ~ 16 1/2".
My calves are 18" so do you think these will fit?
Thanks
I have been wearing umpire shin guards for about 3 or 4 years now. I am looking for some new ones with a little more protection, and that is a little more comfortable to play in. Any suggestions?
Yup.. should of listened to this forum. Time to buy a mask....
I'm definitely thankful! I know how close it was to being wayyyy worse!You were extremely lucky. To not have eye damage, require surgery, or even lose teeth is very lucky where you were hit. I know you don't feel thankful now.
What ball?
