I have never been hit there but always wear an inner thigh pad (my time will come ) I only wear kookaburra blade thigh pads but they seem comfier as a pair!!

Ah, I was just about to post about the inner thigh protection on the strippers and in particular the fact that I feel the inner protection is too far towards the outer thigh of the back leg (perhaps for protection if you get squared up against a ball that seams away?)...

Reason being, my talent ran out at 90mph against the bowling machine earlier in the week and four days later it still looks like this (it was as painful as it looks I can assure you!):



As said, if you've not been hit there, it's only a matter of time (assuming you play at a decent level).

So does anyone else find this about the strippers?

Exactly the same mate, doesn't protect your inner thigh as much as you'd like, it's more the front of your back thigh. Got caught a couple of times

I have had this same problem with every inner thigh guard I have ever tried they all seem to end up on the front of the thigh and do not protect this inner part. I have been hit here far more often than on the front of my thigh.

Not that it's much reassurance but at least I'm not the only one. Was thinking about swapping my P1 for some separate pads or even unstitching the inner thigh pad and restitching it more towards the inner thigh...
