How to protect the family jewels...?

take steroids. They'll shrink your boys so there is less to shoot at while also giving you that competetive edge

I'll second the soft cup suggestion. I've been using one for nearly a decade. I'd say I've taken a couple of dozen shots to the junk, and with the soft cup you don't feel a thing.

It'll be the best $8 you'll ever spend on paintball.

lacrosse compression spandex they are for goalies that stuff works wonders and very flexible

[Konigballer]

compression spandex? Why dont you just dunk 'em in ice water before you go out, they'll be in "turtle mode" forever

when i first started balling i wore a cup, and now that I have been playing more and more with out a hit down there, I really havent worn one in a bout a year of playing.

Although, I was at the local FSPL tournament last weekend and some kid went to bunker another kid. They traded shots and one of them caught for paintballs in junk. lol. kid was down for a good 3-4 minutes.

Saw him walking around all funny with what I thought was his girlfriend after. I laughed. haha

electrical taping a stuffed dog to it helps a lot, the paintballs will bounce right off!

The combination of dye slider shorts and new dye pants with the padding up front helps... but it's expensive.

I wear a soft cup. It's a lot narrower than a normal cup, and it's flexible, too. I honestly forget I'm wearing it. MUCH better than a typical cup. And it's like $10.

not to get off topic but nice cocker FSU, I like that color.

Thanks, I appreciate it. That's actually an old pic... I just updated it when you said that... thanks for the reminder.

(it's not as pretty now, but it rocks a little bit harder)

I use a hard cup all the time. After seeing a few guys hit on "the boys", I don't take the chance.

Saw a guy at the Knoxville Indoor a few years ago take a hard hit from about 5 feet directly to them, he threw up in his mask.

A "little" discomfort is good insurance.

Hmm.. i usually just throw on a pair of light gym shorts between my boxers and pants... works for me

[skife]

i've got a friend who's been shot in his boys 3 times, he still doesn't wear a cup

neither do i
i just trust my luck.

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

lol don't trust your luck!

you guys out there that havn't been shot in the nuts, WEAR A CUP, you never want to experiance the feeling i had

[FutureMagOwner]

second or third ne ao day i got shot in the junk for the first time, as a couple people can tell you i kinda fell over in the middle of the field for a minute or 2 in agony

then the next 30 times or so (like up until the last time i played in november) i got shot in the junk ATLEAST once and i still dont wear a cup perhaps i should since it doesnt really hurt anymore although the i wanna hurl feeling still reigns supreme

Dont stand straight up. Bend the knees and hunch foreward. Makes the possible angles of being shot from much much lower. Won't cost ya a cent and no funkey stuff in front of your junk (except your freakish legs ).
