I really felt the impact through my jaw bone back to my ears and had quite a headache through late Thursday evening. I never felt this much impact when using my other masks over the years. Just curious if anyone else experienced a problem like this. I really like the light weight and visibility of this mask but not if it doesn't handle impact well.Thanks.

Mo:
Both MTD, Jr., and I wear this mask both fastpitch soft ball and baseball and have had no problems with it. But Bret is correct about adjusting the straps of your mask.
