I’m a baseball catcher who wear this cup, and I even took a hard hit two months ago in high school, but it provided the strength I needed. What is wrong with the product????

Advise you to turn in the cup if defective. You don’t want to get hurt with out proper protection. When I was playing ball got hit in the cup and broke in two pieces. Did not get hurt but it was real experience.
