Just ask Alex Avila if concussions are possible, sure looked a bit loopy during Sox series. I looked into getting my 2016 the "pro style" but after a little web surfing I felt it that it was better not to chance it. Another factor was the way the pro style seemed to move around so much: ie. throwing down to second etc. Much better for those collisions at the plate, maybe a thing of the past with the new rules. But in the end it comes down to personal preference.
