Face mask experiences
Triple H -
I know your thrad is addressed to Jim, but I think my experiences will help.
Four years ago, I wore a tight mask and took a shot that popped two disks in my neck. Doctor told me the reason was the tight mask causing the force to the head and told me not to go behind the plate if I were to continue umping. I was resigned to bases...until this year when I discussed the helmet with my Doc and he cleared me to again go behind the plate...with cautions. Found the helmet to be superior in comfort and visibility, persperation was no longer a problem. I remember hearing a loud bang as I took a direct shot a few days ago that actually bent the wire frame. The impact to my head was minimal, I felt no snapping of the head, I didn't have to take any time to clear my head, in fact if it wasn't for the loud bang, I wouldn't have realized it was a shot. Needless to say, I'm sold on the helmet and won't be returning to the harness.
Hope this helps...
