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.

Aero box here, don't fit particularly well in my Gray-Nics briefs on first testing, but OK enough.

I've been wearing shock doctor for years. Good protection but do find it narrow in the ball region

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

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.
