Title: What kind of box do you use?
Post by: Jaymo on June 21, 2012, 10:37:56 PM
Random but with the new curved type box and more traditional type what do you prefer?

Myself used use the traditional one, now use curved one and find it better :)

What do you mean by curved versus traditional and have you searched for nutty buddy...

Just had a look at the nutty buddy, never seen that before, looks good some decent thinking gone into that!

By curved I mean:

I have both, use the Traditional more often with my Kookaburra shorts. Not a big fan of the curved style

In all seriousness, I use the traditional ones

Traditional, but have heard the curved ones offer better protection. That nutty buddy looks mental, and a bit over the top.

Hmmm might have to give the nutty a go next season... :D

Well - if I carry on keeping then it may have to be the nuttybuddy for me to protect those eggs!
No plans for more kids, but I took a ball that stayed low right in the plums 2 games ago and I would rather be sure next time!! Needed a minute to recover!

Curved for me, using the Aero with aero shorts and P2 Strippers, barely notice you have it on and when I have been hit I haven't felt a thing!  :) :)

Aero with Aero briefs, seem to be nice and snug

Shock doc for batting

None when I keep

Faced an angry bowler yesterday. First he bounced me, then threw in a few body liners & finished the over off with one to the nuts & inner thigh. My trusted Slazi box took a fair brunt of it but still left me wincing & teary eyed.

Firstly, is this all in a days work for an opener or shall I go back to bat 6?  ???

My main question is... What is the best box you can buy? Currently using a traditional but have no shape preference.

Aero box in aero cycling shorts, really comfy when batting, don't notice it's there at all.

Not sure when keeping wicket, rubs against my pubic region a it too much for comfort

What's the nutty buddy like Tim? Is it worth the (comparatively large) investment? And is it any good for keeping? I struggle with my box moving around in my Slaz shorts when I'm batting, leading to constant unsightly readjustments!

When I keep I wear bike shorts and then a jockstrap that hold the cup in place.  It seems like overkill but it's been the most comfortable setup so far.  I use an under armor cup but I've heard good things regarding shock doctor as well.

Tim loves it when you mention "comparatively Large" while talking about his box...

Oh curved for me.. the GN pro

i find that a curved box is a lot more comfy and less bulky than a traditional box
