He didn't have an opportunity to use it in a game but I found his review to be genuine and more detailed then I expected.<br /><br />My favorite part of the 4 page review was:<br /><blockquote>"My goal was to actually have a pitching machine shoot balls at me while I wore each of the HSMs – I figured what better way to test the shock absorbers than to see if I felt a difference. Well, I wasn’t able to get that done, so I had my son (Freshman in high school) throw a ball at my face (he volunteered way too quickly, if you ask me!).</blockquote>I hope you appreciate the review as much as I did. <a href="http://www.ump-attire.com/reviews/ShockFx.pdf">You can read it in its entirety here in PDF format.</a>Jim Kirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12122397816926172167noreply@blogger.com
