 works well for rolling, sparringNov 18, 2011
By Dennis Park
this a good cup - ive been using it almost daily for kickboxing and jiu-jitsu for over a year now and it has saved me many times, so it def does it's job. i do find myself adjusting and occasionally when rolling with a person on top - it can get uncomfortable.

A great athletic cup!Jul 21, 2010
By Thom in DC
I got two of these athletic cups from Amazon.com five days ago and they arrived yesterday! It is your typical contoured banana cup, designed to conform to the male groin. I love how it holds my genitals, delivering both protection and comfort. It fits best in a Shock Doctor Ultra cup supporter for which it was made, but also fits well in other cup supporter brands.

 Don't be a victim of marketingAug 19, 2010
By JAM11E
Having bought the Shock Doc Ultra I tested it with a few impacts and then threw it away.
Reasons for disliking the SDU:
1.Impacts from side angles were not as good as I woukld like. I know no guard will fully protect from the side but this was poor. This was proved right with my next groin guard purchase.
2. Impacts from the front were less hurtful than if I was not wearing the SDU but I felt too much "feedback" on my groin for me to be confident to engage in combat in this. Perhaps going up one size would help a bit, but I was already 1 size above what SDU recommeded. Surley SD should know their sizes are 1 or 2 sizes too small (as all the amazon customers seem to know in their reviews) and it looks like they do this to sell more SDUs as people return to buy a larger one.
3. A lot of money has been pumped into marketing this product and similar ones, and they make the product LOOK different from a boring old groin guard cup so you THINK it will be more advanced and better. A cup that flexes? Great if you want to show car driving over it on youtube and it not break. But use your common sense and you will realise you want a cup that will not flex INTO your groin! Yes of course a non flexible guard! As the one I name below. Also if it doesn't flex, it will hurt the opponent more! Just what we want. Or in ball sports it will bounce the ball hit back more instead of lessing the guard deform into your sensitive bits.
4. Holding the SDU in place are the shorts which are nice and comfy, look cool (great the marketing) but seem like they are going to rip at the sweing seams if you handle them without lots of care. Not only this but remember we want a groin guard to stay in place and you cannot adjust how tight or loose it is held since the shorts are not adjustable and have a kind of FREE FLOATING (!) pocket in which the guard is held. Compare this to a less cool and colourful looking groin guard actually used by Thai Boxers where it is held in place with 3 fully adjustable straps and use common sense.
5. They only let you own 1 pair of the shorts which the cup slots into! What if I want to use the guard every day?! I can't see anywhere that sells the exact shorts not even SD website. Unbelievable!
I now own a Sandee Groin Guard XL which is made in Thailand from steel metal but is surpisingly light. Also the padding around the edge is great. Holds in place great because of 3 straps adjustable. There is more space inside it like the designer knows it has to fit a man's parts unlike the SDU which seems to leave your groin pressed against its tight proportions. I assume the Sandee is made for Thai Boxing, but I use this for other martial arts (Kali) and real life situations where anything can happen, falling to the floor, being mobile on your feet, groin kneeing, stick impact and so on. It will withstand ball hitting it a hundred times better than the SDU too.
It's like Tron for your junkNov 20, 2011
By Michael Lemmen
I got this because of the good reviews here on Amazon, and they were correct. Who would have thought that high tech engineering would spare your junk from damage. This is what modern technology always promised us, but has rarely delivered.
The best part? Because it's flexible, you can cross your legs (you know, when you have some sweaty guy's head in there as you try to choke him out) and the cup won't dig into your thighs! Ordinary sports cups can't do that!
My only nitpick is that Amazon doesn't sell the adult large size. I have to get my boys lined up single file to make it work. Even after a workout, when the boys have tried to climb back into my body from instinctual self-preservation, it's still a bit tight.
The bottom line - This high-tech over-engineered thing is perfect for saving your future progeny!
