I used to put a hockey shin pad in, but changed my technique and stopped getting hit so much!

i don't face anything quicker than about 70mph, and my pads will protect me up to about 80mph - assuming our bowling machine is accurate!

(so that's a no!)

The only think I have seen is relatively high density foam - but I think it isn't all that common now.

Or this type of thing:
