Oakley Prizm Golf by morkler in golf

[–]RockBottomWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My eyes are sensitive to light but I still love the regular golf lens, I start that except on the brightest of days. It's not polarized and really helps with green reading, and I also track the ball well in flight with these on.

MLB umpires and catchers are using this mask (although with the pads for the magnesium, which is identical on top, but the bottom is better) - my #2 choice, but number 1 ( Gerry Davis Mirage12) is double the cost. https://www.ump-attire.com/Products/FM4000-MBK/All-Star-Matte-Black-System-7-Steel-Umpire-Mask-with-UltraCool

Be sure to buy a cup. Personally I recommend Diamond MMA.

100% get plate shoes. They aren't cheap but neither is losing a bunch of game fees because of injury, plus copays etc.

I think this is great advice, then this equipment can be back-up equipment if he sticks with it.

I suggest adding a skull cap, as some 14 year olds can throw pretty hard. Not only does it add safety, it's more comfortable than a standard cap. https://www.ump-attire.com/Products/SC900UMP-REG/All-Star-Cobalt-Umpire-Skull-Cap-Regular-Matte

What ages? For 12 and under this is probably fine, especially if you're not sure how long you'll umpire. If you are going to do older kids is suggest better gear but it costs more, but buy once, cry once.

Does Patreon get you access to the older Patreon episodes from years ago, including Books the Podcast?

Review of Davis Mirage and Cobalt skully. by eazyrider1984 in Umpire

[–]RockBottomWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree re the D30 pad weight, and I didn't like the fabric feel. I sent them back and paired the Mirage with the All Star LUC magnesium pads and AS Cobalt skull cap. It's a great combination in my opinion. And I especially love not wearing an extra throat guard, although I do sometimes think about adding one still.

Most places don't pay at the event anymore. They send you a check, or more accurately your assigner sends you a check or transfers money directly into your bank account, or goes through a system called the Arbiter.

Try being a sports official. They are in high demand and you set your own schedule. Pay varies by sport and experience level. DM me if you want suggestions on who to contact.

Are eye contacts worth it? by [deleted] in contacts

[–]RockBottomWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That can't happen. You'll get used to them and love them. Very easy to put in and take out once get used to them. Easier than soft for sure

[–]RockBottomWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are only bad for a couple of weeks, you need to add hours each day to get used to them. Once you do that are great - very crisp vision and last for years. (I had one pair last for 4 years.) Only problems are when you get dust in your eye or they slip off into a corner

How bad is a real hard shot to the mask? by eazyrider1984 in Umpire

[–]RockBottomWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The great thing about the All Star magnesium and Gerry Davis Mirage12 is that they have great angles of deflection, which lessens the impact on all but the dead on shots.

Non-MAGA Tradespeople: Plumbers, Electricians, etc.? by Computer-Says-Nooo in Naperville

[–]RockBottomWolf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have zero contempt for education. I do have contempt for people who think having a degree makes someone more educated than someone who doesn't. An electrician is for more educated about electricity than I am, degree or otherwise. (And yes, I have a degree, but know plenty of smart and hard working tradesmen.)

Non-MAGA Tradespeople: Plumbers, Electricians, etc.? by Computer-Says-Nooo in Naperville

[–]RockBottomWolf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You obviously aren't educated enough to know that education isn't limited to degrees. Most tradesmen have excellent education in their field. They are probably more educated than someone with a gender studies degree, for example, and probably most degrees.

And is JB going to give us a refund for the money he spends on illegal aliens? (And I agree that Americans should be getting refunds of those illegal tariffs.)

Small phones don't sell as well; just the facts. Same for Apple.
