    Depending on what your arch is like, the Titan Fury (flatter back) or F6 (more arch) are good beginner shirts. The groove on those is relatively more forgiving than the more gangster shirts out there.

    Just make sure its not too tight, you can tighten the sleeves and/or chest plate as you get used to it.

    THanks for the tips, I do have one hell of an Arch. I know i need to be easy to let it break in and get used to it, but i can work with whatever i need to.

    Don't worry about the "shirt bites". That means the shirt is working.

    Titan's material holds up for a lot of use. I used my 1st Fury almost 3 years competing and training in it once a week. Titan's quality is reflected by their warranty.
