Ok thanks for the reply. I have seen it on both and always thought it was throwing arm. I guess it could be useful on the catching arm in case a foul ball conveniently makes its way towards your catching shoulder.Thats more a baseball thing. Most softball gear does not have that. In baseball its on the throwing arm
That's not entirely true. Jen Schro, Paige Halstead, and Rawlings Renegade sets all come with the extra shoulder flap. Under Armour and Mizuno are the ones who build it in on both sides or include both flaps.Thats more a baseball thing. Most softball gear does not have that. In baseball its on the throwing arm

I rather be protecting my throwing shoulder. Makes sense to me. That flap isnt interfering w a throwIf a chest protector has one shoulder protector, does it typically protect the shoulder of the glove hand or the throwing hand?
Their stuff looks really nice, padded, and well thought out. My purchase is for an 8-year old though, so we are on a champro budget.Force 3 has removable flaps on both sides.....DD2 removed both immediately lol
