Shock Doctor - is it worth it?
« on: March 14, 2012, 09:40:33 PM »
Is a shock doctor box worth spending the extra money on? Do they offer less pain when being hit in that area? If so, which one to get?

I bought one today , I am considering doing a review since there is none in here about it. It's definitely worth buying.

I got hit in the nuts with an Aero box from a bowling machine this week on about 65, heard the clunk but the gentlemen eggs knew nothing more about it, Aero box cost me about £4 i think, but I read somewhere they're only comfy with Aero briefs cos the shape

I've got two shock doctors as I wear them with the shorts and after being hot in the jewels at a decent speed from a bottom edge pull definatley worth it

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

I thought it was normal to have one either side?

Box's have not really come a long way in my eyes over the years compared to all other protection. Must be a way of having these incorperating some kind of gel or other material that takes the shock of the ball on balls.
