| Feb. 27, 2009 thebull Men's 50 59 posts | Advice on Shin Guards I'm looking for a good quality shin guards for pitching. Local stores carry a poor selection and I don't want to buy online with out some recommendidations. They need to be light, easly taken on and off and be compact yet still provide good protection. Looked at soccer guards and motocross guards neither of which would work well. The baseball shin guards I've seen are too bulky, look more like Ice Hockey Goalie guards. Any Ideas? thebull |
