I don't know, I would think* that the flatter angle of the mask would be more prone to absorbing the energy of the ball striking the mask as opposed to deflecting it. Considering PBUC's warning to their umpires about these masks, and the fact I've had three major concussions in my life due to football, I'm not taking the risk.


*As in, I don't have any hard data to backup this theory.
