I'm in Victoria! Okay - back to topic... the Diamond and the Pro-9 ARE different. Compare the profile of the Diamond to the profile of the Pro-9... Go with the Pro-9. It is a knockoff of the AllStar... the same kind of padding (not foam - All Star started that last year I think)... and a leather chinpad. Hell, peel off the Pro-9 sticker and nobody could tell the difference. Balls deflect off them - this I know! The massive head shots that would turn the old style masks on your face just ... deflect. It is a beautiful thing. Then have the same plate at the back of your head - the same adjustment... a clone of the All Star. Good luck - and let me know what you end up with. I'm interested in what others think. I cannot believe that anyone even wants to wear a hat and the old style masks anymore.
