Shopping around for a baseball cup and am wondering what the best baseball cup is? I guess the metrics would be comfort and protection... Looking for something better than this: http://www.amazon.com/Shock-Do...rds=shock+doctor+cup

Nutty Buddy for an infielder or catcher. The downside to the nutty buddy is if they are a head first slider or dive a lot on the infield the outer profile is bigger and flatter and can be tender if diving. Gotta watch the video of the guy taking a ball from the pitching machine straight to the cup. You will need the specialized compression shorts for the nutty buddy but it is worth it.

Good call. Just ordered it. Hopefully the "glove fits." Thanks

Drove off with mine on the roof of the car. Came flying off, and survived very well. Love the Bubba.

All the "ladies" on the board have or have had teenage sons...we have heard worse!
My son really likes the under armour slide shorts with built in cup pocket, but I have heard very good things about the nutty buddy.
I think he was busting on my comment about coffee cups and not knowing the difference...I am confident the only offense intended was directed in my general direction
You and the other ladies on the board are always on point and your comments insightful...me on the other hand...I get distracted and make silly comments far too often
Son is a catcher and used to wear a regular cup. Took a foul ball off the plate and directly in the undercarriage. After trip to the emergency room, decided on the Nutty Buddy. Not only very strong but also has a better coverage area.

From what I've heard, you spend some time with a gaggle of girls and you will hear much worse.
