      I see the following is on sale at Home Run Sports. I was told my protector was a little too soft for Men’s Ball. This one also has shoulder pads. Do most of you use shoulder pads at Elite ball?

      Is this a good deal? On sale for $70 regular $150 [Apparently]

      Anyone have this actual model? Do they like it?

        I saw this one last year when I was looking and tried it on. Didn’t particularly like it. Hard plastic type. It was also on sale then. Doesn’t seem overly popular if they still have it.

          I’ve seen this type, cumbersome and bulky. I don’t like it.

            Jim, which one would you suggest for doing Men’s ball? Where did you get yours?

              diamond iX3 is the model many of us have. HRS use to sell it but I don’t see is there now. I recommend it.

                I see HR has a “Diamond DCP-iX3 CXTU 14” $119.99

                http://www.homerunsports.info/diamond-dcpix3-cxtu-p-28422.html

                But I also see there is an UMP one with more arm protection on other sites

                Examples:
                http://www.sportsfanoutlet.com/diamond-dcp-ix3-ump-umpire-chest-protector.html

                IS this the one you are talking about?

                  The model Geoff mentions can be found cheaper on U.S. sites but consider the Canadian dollar and shipping. I have the iX3 and it’s more than adequate.
