Low Pro Chrome Moliben vs Honig's Double Bar
I have both. I think the weight is similar but the Moliben (whatever the $%@* that is) does let you see better, in my opinion. Especially on low pitches. Just my two cents. I got it with black doeskin and just got the black amara suede pads from Gerry Davis Sports last week. Done about three games with the suede on the Moliben. Not too hot yet but I feel the difference. Really nice. I have been getting several positive comments on my strike zone and I really think it is mostly the mask combined with a couple of tweaks to my stance (GDS) and early lock in. I have taken several (five or six) balls off the mask and no dents just scratches and nicks. No headaches or jaw probs, etc. One of them was the first scrimmage in Mid-March with a pitcher throwing low 90's. Lots of foul balls that day. I only caught two of them-shin and facemask. I recommend the Moliben. Oh yeah, I only paid $49 for it as it wasn't in the seller's database yet on my date of purchase and they went ahead and sold it to me as the Wilson dynalite. Lucky, lucky me.
