I use GM cup..it looks sturdy. The other day I was hit in the nuts ....it was pain full. Just wondering if there is something that would provide absolute protection.
-
Nope.
-
Shock doctor carbon fibre cup!!
-
The box is essentially a soap dish with some padding so it doesn't dig in, it's never going to provide 100% protection!
It's crazy to think all the advancements there have been in protective equipment over the years that the bit to protect your thinking apparatus is still nothing more than a badly shaped bit of plastic...

I See your carbon fibre and raise you....Titanium!!!!

I want one.
-
I am not sure if Titan Alloy cup is better than Ultra Carbon cup! Carbon cup seems to have an extra layer ..may be less shock.

Nuts of steel!!..........Almost.............kinda...................

I'm going to order one and wear it on the outside of my whites.

Wear both.

Thanks to this forum ive just bought a shock doctor mma protector(!).
Fed up with getting whacked in the plums and going down like a sack of spuds
Hope this bit of kit does the trick!
-
I wear both shock doctor shorts and cup but I've never been totally happy with the fit. Too narrow and the rubber sticks like glue while inserting it.
Much happier with Aero shorts and cup. The quicks I face are not pro level but I've never had a problem. Had to shake them a few times but that's it.
-
Getting the Shock doctor in and out is a nightmare, I just leave it in my jockstrap the whole time, is a different level of protection of you do take one amidships though.
-
Maybe we should encourage Ayrtek to develop A.C.I.S for our thinking equipment.
-
You would of all the years some of us have been playing someone somewhere would invert a bit of kit that just works all round.it would kill the fun of seeing ur mate go down in a heap thou! :)
-
If someone would be kind enough to do the mallet test with different cups and report back that would be appreciated :D
Unfortunately I'm unable to take part in this trial, in case of catastrophic failure as I still wish to use my protected jewels.
-
i wear a aero box + aero briefs...
can't seem to find a good jock strap for my areo box..
shock doctor carbon + shorts is on my wish list..
-
Aero box here, don't fit particularly well in my Gray-Nics briefs on first testing, but OK enough.
-
nutty buddy seems pretty legit.

wondering if anyone is using it.
-
I've been wearing shock doctor for years. Good protection but do find it narrow in the ball region

Just empty them more.

Just a piece of advice from recent incident in National Team of Finland trials where my younger brother was bowling and the ball hit the batsman right at the nuts shattering his cup into pieces even after an hour he was still taking out cup pieces from around his ass but luckily he had no injury at all. I assume the pace was around 75-80mph. The cup shattered just because it was gone old and mostly the plastic deteriorate by time in the storage in hot days so i suggest changing the cup every year or other . By the way it was GN cup bought from Australia.
Lately i am also leaning towards to try shock doctor cup.
-
I've suffered many hits in the nuts and for the last two years I've had a shock doctor and it had made the blows a lot less painful, they are worth every penny!!!
-
I got struck on sat! Was only medium pace but didn't feel it at all. However the plastic seems to have fractured, rather than cracked
-
I am wondering if anyone is actually using titanium cup by shock doctor. Any feedback?
-
i am....
-
Shock Doctor hands down.
Although I feel they are little soft on the sides, which means a non-flush hit could potentially cause some damage, as Ross Taylor found out in Zimbabwe.

Tangowhiskey - that is magnificent.
-
He got seriously "Faf'd in the beast" with that in-nipper!!!! Ouchy
-
Many pros and people I know Sellotape several boxes together :)
-
Maybe one for @StrettonFox Sports to look into as would be an interesting video of him testing it haha
-
If I said that I've been working on a new box for the last 2 years and the patent has just gone through, it also passes the mallet test (well, not quite as enthusiastically!) and fits soo much better than others ) also that it will be coming out next year hopefully this will be a much more sensible solution !
-
no wussing out we want a full mallet test video to prove it works

I just can't believe you aren't prepared to stand in front of a bowling machine and have balls fired into your nuts at 90mph. are you a man or mouse?

He's a man now but would probably be a mouse after the testing
-
By a mouse, do you mean that he would be reduced to a very high pitched squeak?

How about these bad boys? There's a lot of options out there if you search for MMA protection.
-
Can we get a video comparing the mallet test on a normal box and a stretton fox box please?? :D
-
Video this weekend (wearing clothes) but testing the box, should be fun !! )

Come on then, did you do the video, are ya balls blue?
-
Not too bad !
Will post the video just as soon as I can walk over to upload it ! Theres a video on the box and one on the new glove design, no more broken fingers or balls, marvellous !
-
Double box has always worked for me (so far)

how does that help?

Test it for yourself, do a mallet test without one, then work yourself way up until you've got 3 taped together.
Its basic physics really, more layers of protection = more shock absortion/dispersion (and as a result, less pain!)

ah ok..i thought they were trying to expand coverage. I find the aero one to be really good, but it really only fits well into the aero shorts.

Does that mean no mallet test video from you then?? :(

i am sure we can recruit Johnny Knoxville for this

Now theres a thought !
Mallet test tomorrow morning I promise, sorry I can't wake the neighbours with screams it could be embarrassing !
