We here at Heart-Guard For Baseball, Game Face Mask and with MarkWort Sports, want to take this opportunity to give all sports buyers an update of the progress in safety equipment development, that applies to all young athletes participating in Baseball, Softball, Football, Soccer, Flag Football, Field Hockey, Martial Arts and other contact Sports!

A study by Dr. Mark Link of the New England Medical Center and Dr. Adolph Hutter of Massachusetts General Hospital showed that an impact to a child's chest had to occur at a certain point in the heart's beat to have catastrophic consequences. The study proved that the use of softer baseballs provided some degree of increased protection. This occurred because the impact force to the chest was spread over a longer time period, thus reducing the overall force transferred to the heart that could cause it to go into ventricular fibrillation. While another study done 2004 -2008 brings into focus a huge issue world wide of Heart-Gard and game face mask of sports players T-ball to that of eighteen under!

The Heart-Gard® was designed to not only increase the time of impact, but to also spread the force over a significantly larger area, further reducing the force transferred to the heart. Hopefully, this information gives you a better idea of what we are trying to accomplish, providing you with the most effective, cost conscious and wearable product for your money. Please contact us if you have any suggestions, and let us know if we can help you in any way with league or coaches concerns.

                          The Problems

The Solutions

More deaths occur in youth baseball & softball than any other sport  including football!

The HEART-GARD® is designed to help prevent death and injury from the ball impact to the center of the chest.

In a twenty-five year period,1973- 1998, at least 60 young Baseball and softball players died from chest impact. Another 9 died while participating in hockey, martial arts and boxing. Approximately 65% of all injuries and deaths are inflicted by the ball Pitched, Batted, and thrown.

Padded, shatterproof plastic guard is molded 50% thicker at the center to increase protection while retaining flexibility.

The HEART- GARD® reduces felt impact by transferring force away from the heart and spreading it over a 700% larger area.

The facts of the study further proved that 97% of all these injuries and or deaths came from two main area's! 1. Hit in the forehead with out any face protection &  2. Not wearing a strap on HEART-GARD or a Heart Guard Body Shirt for saftey.

While the game face mask if worn in baseball & softball can save 100% of  face injuries if only worn and that correctly during infield play!

The kids we're hit with line drives or a bad hop while simply playing the infields of their sports. The Study done by: SWGEnterprise World Wide Sports a leading world wide of all youth and adult safety gear since 1991, also found that 70% of all injuries and deaths we're inflicted by a batted ball from a metal bat.  15% from a bad hop off the infield from the metal bat,  10% by a thrown ball to a fielder at 1st, 2nd and 3rd going for a simple out, to only 5%  from a pitch ball from another player or coach. As well, 93 % of these  kids still alive now have become families added to the over growing AUTISM count, with only 3% of the kids ever returning to a normal active life,

Builds player confidence by reducing fear of the ball, which makes the coach’s job easier.

“The Widespread use of protective equipment requires the over coming of the macho image of boys and fathers. We believe strongly that more mothers need to step up to the plate ,and address that these kids they have, need to be save guarded at once". 

The one strap on HERAT-GARD used by 10U players is easily adjusted has elastic straps, ensure that it is securely and comfortably in position at all times. Light weight and cool, it does not restrict movement in any way.

If this educational effort is unsuccessful, recommendation for the use of protective gear will be futile…. Little league and parents….Should adopt a means of protection from these accidents. And join forces with thousands to fight that your park will finally note that Safety 1st -VS- Speed of the Game must be the key to saving lives'! Urge approval the use of Heart-Guard & Game Face Mask in all 18U play starting 2009 season!

Facts that all Parents, Coaches and Leagues Officials Need To Protect Their Love Ones or Players Right Away-2009 Season coming near!

May 14, 2008  (AP) A sports mother in Wayne, NJ wraps her arms around her son, gently raising the spindly 14-year-old boy off a couch to his feet. She hugs him and rubs his back, whispering "I love you" over and over! Steven Domalewski, tries to high five with his father Joseph at their home in Wayne, N.J., Wednesday, May 14, 2008. Domalewski is severely disabled, left with brain damage after being struck in the chest by a line drive that stopped his heart while he was playing in a youth baseball game.

Less than two years ago, Domalewski was a happy, healthy star pitcher on a youth baseball team coached by his father. He loved martial arts, climbed every tree on the block and zoomed down his street on inline skates. Now Domalewski is severely disabled, left with brain damage after being struck in the chest by a line drive that stopped his heart while he was playing in a youth baseball game. The family contends metal baseball bats are inherently unsafe for youth games because the ball comes off them much faster than from wooden bats. There has been a string of injuries the past two decades involving metal bats launching balls that have killed or maimed young players across the country. The Domalewskis' lawyer claims bat manufacturers put speed ahead of safety; one even advertised a bat so powerful it is capable of "beaming the third baseman" with a line drive. Attorney for the family say little Domalewski will need millions of dollars worth of medical care for the rest of his life. Which today leaves Joseph and Nancy his parents praying that their son will return to what he was before the injury. But no doctor has told them that is likely. SWGEnterprise believes, the use of a Heart-Guard would have spared the Domalewski child!

August 2008 Little League World Series game between Hagerstown, MD and Jeffersonville, Indiana had an interesting story! Ben Shahroudi, the second baseman for Jeffersonville team took a simple bad hop to the face during the Great Lakes Regional Tournament and broke four (4) bones around his nose. In order to protect his injuries from further damage his family purchased a Game Face Sports Safety Mask. Ben being the 1st boy in history to ever wear a game face in boy's Little League, proved being macho was out of the question! We believe at SWGEnterprise, the use of the Game Face Mask 1st and not the macho thinking of boys in baseball today would have spared Ben his broken bones! And we're happy to report Ben sailed right long in the world series sporting his new game face mask...We're told it never stop his talent at all-thus proving the mask doesn't stop a player sight of action!

While wearing a Game Face Mask SAVES LIVES' worn correctly, that is also very light weight & comfortable!
