  • To be totally honest, it can be. The intensity of the Pain (if any) will depend on where you are hit and if the hit breaks on impact (balls that bounce tend to be more painful), and also what kind of clothes you are wearing (more padding can provide more protection, however too much padding can restrict your movement and cause you to overheat).

    Keep in mind that the pain is more of a quick sting, that you will quickly forget about, and in most cases with your adrenaline pumping you won’t even register the hit.

    We note that you should keep the following in mind, if you are concerned about pain:

    • We encourage you to reduce exposed areas such as hands and neck. For Males we STRONGLY encourage you to protect your family jewels, so purchase a cup protector or bring your own along (or be prepared for bruises in an area that you definitely don’t want to be bruised).
