20 Best Defense For Week 2 Fantasy Football (2023 Updated)

My son has been playing team football for several years now and has used the boil-to-fit style guards up until this season. We got this one and it doesn’t require ‘fitting’. It took him a few practices to get used to the bite, the open mouth hole and the outward lip protection.

It does cause him to drool a little more than his previous guards, but he finally got used to this style. Prefers this style now after the break-in period.

I love it. Comfortable and stylish. I forget I’m wearing it. Protects me from germs too as I don’t touch wear my mouth was when I remove it. Highly recommend it to everyone!

Good price, good fit, good protection. We will purchase again when needed.

My sons play both fall football as well as travel NFL flag football. These mouthpieces are really great and both my boys have them. Highly recommend.

I bought this mouthpiece for may son because really liked the look and the feel of the mouthpiece. Only issue the paint or print on front of mouth piece flakes off and ended up in his eyes. Contacts and paint flakes don’t mix.

Still awesome protection for his teeth.

Bought for my 7 year old after every other mouthpiece he chewed or tether brokers. This one has lasted months….. awesome

Bought this for my 15 yr old grandson and he thought it was great!! His team and coaches loved it. Offers great protection in a fun style. We purchase Battle in several styles every year and have been extreme ly satisfied with them.

Will continue to recommend and purchase.

Daughter loves it looks great looks awesome and reflects the sun

I purchased this for my son and he couldn’t be happier with it.

Lasted all last season with both my high school boys. They play hard and liked they breathing hole, and it didn’t come home all chewed up like the cheap ones. Bought them again for this season

This mouth protector is doing just what I wanted it to do. I wish it were a little more comfortable in my mouth, but it keeps me from behaviors that damage my lips.

Bought for my son because he has the battle break away and was always leaving it somewhere when he needed it!

Bought on the recommendation of the orthodontist but my son is not a fan. He thinks it does a better job at protecting his lips than teeth. We will try and invest in FANG DOUBLE BRACES MOUTHGUARD to see if that supports or covers the teeth more.

Will wait until he gets all his braces in to buy a new one. Also i prefer something that is connected to his helmet because this is already lost or stolen at a football game.

Great mouthpiece but the tether leaves much to be desired. I don’t feel it is secure enough. On the 4th day of it being attached to my sons helmet the tether came off and we lost the mouthpiece somewhere on our walk to practice.

Thankfully I bought multiples and taped the new one securely on there.

Mouth guard works great. Fun design. The strap does not stay locked and is consistently falling off my sons helmet. It’s only matter of time before he loses it.

Looks sweet and fit is good. The best part is no boiling to fit. We bought this for our son to play football. Unfortunately, he’s a chewer and now it’s worn out. It’s not the manufacturers fault. I’m sure it would last a full season if it wasn’t used as a chew toy.

I bought this for my son for tackle football, he’s used it 2 times connected to the helmet with the rubber strap. The strap broke off and he lost it. I can’t find a replacement strap by itself anywhere.

I have to buy a brand new mouthpiece.

Son loved this mouth guard. Was previously buying him the type that needed to be boiled first. But other than washing this one when I took it out of the box, it was ready to go and fits him great. Also he’s not chewing it up.

Perfect mouth guard for football. Fits 11 year olds mouth well.

Been ordering for my grandson since he was 10 better than other mouthpieces far better durability through the season. And the colors help. carolina blue, black , and pink for October. Would love to see Salute to Service camo mouthpiece, definitely would puchase.

This mouth piece will for both adults and youth although there are 2 different size options. Package says OSFM. Just wanted to share! My high schooler likes it.

I bought 2 white ones. Very good quality for an affordable price. Just like what the pros use. Highly recommend it!

I know they say you can’t put a price on good protection but $20 for this?!? Sheesh! Seems well made but c’mon, it’s plastic and wetsuit material. Should be $10-15 at most. Also note there are very minute differences between this and the soft cup version that aren’t very obvious.

The soft cup is more flexible but intended for non-contact sports (whatever that is – curling, checkers? lol). Isn’t it contradictory to need a cup for a non-contact sport? The hard cup is less flexible and intended for sports like baseball, hockey, lacrosse and MMA.

This info is in the fine print on Dick’s and Shock Doctor websites but if it’s on the packaging it’s well hidden and not nearly as obvious as it should be :/ Looking at the soft and hard cups in their packaging side by side in the store you would probably think you’re choose between light and dark camo.

Even if you notice one says hard and the other soft, neither package mentions the sports they are intended for. Shouldn’t be this complicated. Lower the price and improve labeling.

Good product but much bigger than what I expected. I was trying to purchase for my 12 year old but this is definitely too big. I’ll keep for him to grow into but it will be a while. Would like to have a better description on sizing except for age range.

When I asked my son if he wanted to play to play little league this year he asked if he had to wear his cup. I knew that he was uncomfortable with his bioflex cup last season but I thought it was because it was his first year and needed to get used to it but he never got comfortable wearing it.

I tried it with the core briefs and was almost in tears so I got him some under armour compression shorts with a cup pocket and he tolerated that setup. This year we got the aircore cup and he says its more comfortable.

We are going to try to double layer (compression shorts as a baselayer) and I found a jockstrap small enough for him to wear over the compression shorts. We will try the cup between the jockstrap and compression shorts like I used to in high school.

Fingers crossed we have a winner.

Good quality. Good price. Great protection. A must buy.

I purchased this mouthguard for my son. When we got home, he opened it to check it out. I was very disappointed to find that it didn’t have the included strap with it. It stated on box there was a strap included.

The nearest Dick’s for us is one hour away. I went there a few days later to find that they didn’t have any and had a poor selection of mouthguards. I ended up returning it and drove another hour home empty handed.

Drove four hours and ended up with no mouthguard :(.

I purchased this in green to match my son’s football team’s colors and it looks great! He says it’s really easy to breathe through which is great because he has had others that have made it difficult to breathe with activity.

Too thick. Get the, “Trash Talker,” version of the shock doctor mouth guard. The, “Trash Talker,” is thick enough to protect (unlike the CCM mouth guards), however this mouth guard makes breathing and drinking water difficult.

Followed the instructions exactly as per instructions. Still does not fit my daughter, too loose. quality is way below average. Not worth the money.

Bought for field hockey, molded and fitted it. Molded well to my teeth but is just so big and bulky. I can’t close my mouth or speak properly. I’m not near the age border of the two sizes or anything, but I really do gag on this guard frequently.

It’s just not going to work. Doesn’t feel great on the gum line either, I feel the sores coming after just minutes of wearing this. Dick’s really needs to stock more of the slim fit guards, as I only saw one type in stock.

I bought this for playing floor hockey. Unfortunately it was a little late and wish I would’ve had it before my lip got split with a stick. I love how easy it is to breathe with it in your mouth. It’s very durable and holds up to serious chomping, unlike the Shock Doctor gel ones that get chewed up.

Cheaper, last longer, breathes better. Great value!.

The actual material of this mouth guard split and is unusable in less than a months use for a small child. Obviously there is something wrong with the material and the warranty is junk. Buyer beware the $2 mouth guards are a better option than this.

Great mouthpiece. Comfortable and no boiling. All my son’s friends wanted it.

Purchased for son to use for football. Great mouthguard to use right out of box, no need to mold.

My son loves this! The only thing that would be better is making a kids size! It’s a bit big for kids! But he likes it better than traditional mouth guard. & he has braces!

This is the best mouth guard I’ve tried, great protection, at first I was sceptical because I felt like It didn’t have as much protection but it works, I got crushed on the jaw area by two linebackers, both 2 times my size multiple times and I’m 185lbs and I didn’t have any problems.

It is the easiest lip guard to breathe trough. It is very fast shipping, it took me two days to get it and it makes you look the fresh on the field.

Overall I loved this product it was cheap and did the job. The only issue is the strap sometimes pops out when you get hit hard.

Problem was, standard adult cups just float on top of it all. So when the cup got hit I still wanted to curl up and puke. To make it worse whatever was squished out from under the edge of the cup caught a really nasty pinch.

Google “epidydimal trauma” and you will see what I mean. The Shock Doctor XL cup doesn’t completely solve the problem but it’s only skin and nothing internal that gets squashed. Any chance you guys could offer one size up with the increase in the volume of the cup forward and lower? Call it XXL On Point.

You’d also need to come up with a jock with a cup pocket with an inside lining big enough to make use of the whole volume. Make the waistband a 36 x 1. 5 inches and offer an optional chinchilla leg strap sleeve.

If you come up with all of that I’ll be a fan for life.

Shock Doctor makes the finest and most comfortable protection for the “family jewels”, SERIOUSLY. Their garments and cups are well constructed of the finest materials for comfort, breathability, and durability.

They’re well fitted, and come in many options. Their cups fit so comfortably you completely forget you’re wearing a cup. This particular cup is strong and light. I wear Shock Doctor garments w/cups daily skating(hockey) and have for a great many years.

I’ve even taken to wearing a shorts/cup combo playing tennis. You would too if you were across the net from my daughter who hits like Serena Williams, well over 100 mph serves. I actually own four Shock Doctor articles, two having this particular cup.

Have no worries about leaving the cup in the garment and tossing it into the washing machine with warm or cold water. Highly recommended protection!.

This is the best cup on the market in terms of durability. One important note, this cup needs more volume for well endowed men. Also the vent holes often pinch my skin which forced me to “adjust. ” Still would recommend this cup to anyone who needs out standing support.

My kids (7&9) were hesitant at first but truly like these for football. Also, They both tend to chew on their guards when on sidelines, these hold up nicely

Okay so I have 4 boys from 10-23yrs old all play football. These mouthpieces in general are the best on the market, durability wise. Shipping takes a little longer then expected and they need a little bit more variety color wise for matching the uniforms but again best brand on the market.

The mouthpiece allows air to freely flow while the mouthpiece remains in the mouth. Most mouthpieces prevent ease of breathing when inserted. The Shockdoctor 2. 0 means safety, quality, and affordability.

My son has asthma and this mouthguard allows him to move so much more air on the field! We absolutely love it and it’s by far the best one he’s ever owned!

Best mouth piece by far. And the design couldnt be more perfect

This mouth guard offered great comfort with an amazing ability to breathe easily! 10/10 recommend!

I got this about a week ago and the whole design is already peeling off it’s also super bulky I 100% would prefer an in mouth mouthguard because its hard to take this one in and out with a facemask in the way.

It’s a cool mouthguard but I think its more for show then for playing.

Got this for my son when it was required for flag football. Lots of compliments on the MD flag pattern on the mouth guard

No worries at all during flag football. Great Protection and not too bulky.
