In fact it was bent, and then the replacement that was sent to me got bent in its 2nd game, the first time it got hit by a foul ball straight back off the bat. Both have been sent back for full refund and I went back to the original West Vest with the doe skin for $90 with 2 day shipping. Ordered it Saturday and got it yesterday afternoon from Joe West's Site.
If a $90 mask bends after the 1st time it gets hit, that is 1 thing, but if a $270 mask, after tax and doe skin pads, bends after the first hit on 2 different masks, well then I have a problem with that.
I love the feel, look and vision of the titanium, but I usually get hit about 10 times a season in the mask, and if each one absorbes instaed of deflects the blow, then my mask will look like rolling plaines by the end of the season.
When wilson fixxes the design issues that I feel they have with their product I will gladly buy a new one regardless of the cost.
