My 9 year old son is catching this season and we got him the mizuno samurai gear for his legs and chest but we are confused on the knee savers.
So my questions are: 1. Do most of your catchers wear knee savers at age 9? 2. If they do, what brand has been the best quality for you? 3. What size knee saver seems to fit a 9 year old?
My 12 year old has been catching for years, and has always used knee savers. There is the risk that the catcher becomes "lazy" and spends too much time resting on these. But if he is trained correctly, it will not be an issue. I don't think the brand is a big thing. Any of them should fit, and since he is still growing; go cheap:-) I can't help with size, but they do sella youth size, that I would guess would be OK.
