I called Frank Neves as Honigs Northeast (in CT) and had the mask the following day!
I have never heard of anyone having problems with the Zero Gravity before.

Garth, or anyone else, have you also noticed that the mask is weak?
Nope. I've taken some monster shots on it and have had no problems at all. Sounds like a defect issue if it really broke after a foul shot. I'd call +Pos.
I've taken a few shots in college games, one on a foul ball on a 90+ MPH fastball. It dented the mask a bit. I still wear it on days when I'm not wearing my new Diamond helmet.

Oh, I'd recommend the Diamond helmet from Gerry Davis. Inexpensive and far better, IMO, than the All-Star.
