John,
Not a dumb question at all. Part of it is that it takes some practice, part is that it takes some work to get the harness just right, and the other part is the hats I wear under the mask are 1/8 size smaller than those I wear on the bases. I wear either a 6-stitch or an 8-stitch hat under the mask. My mask is positioned just right. My mask is also VERY loose. So loose that a foul that hits my mask with any force will make it spin and fall off - it always makes folks think I really got nailed when the looseness of the mask takes away all of the force & I don't feel a thing.
