nyquil 43 Report post Posted March 1, 2020 I don’t know how people play without chest protection or a full cage. I’m not a pro. No one is paying me if I get injured and can’t work. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Larry54 243 Report post Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) The only thing lacking on the old-style shoulder pads is spinal protection. At least today's Sherwood 5030 have a spine protector instead of lacing on the back. Edited March 2, 2020 by Larry54 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cause4alarm 7 Report post Posted March 3, 2020 I think these are discontinued but I upgraded from the 5030s to 9950s because they have the added sternum and spine "protection" plates (LOL), and I was also annoyed with the laces coming undone. However, my jersey always seems to snag on the back when I'm putting it on and that's almost as bad. Knock on wood, I haven't had any chest or shoulder injuries playing non-check adult rec league while wearing either versions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
