Xenith Uses shock bonnet to absorb most of the
force during a head on collision. Uses fit seeker to adapt to the head. Mixed feeling on them
Advances
Closing words Concussions will always be a part of the
game and we will still love to see the big hits however we need to teach kids to hit safer at a younger age and have more punishment in the bigger leagues
