ill tell you why i dont think it will "improve my game," because i have no problems with vision right now. i use an AUL300 (or 3000, whichever it is) and i have absolutely no problem seeing anything. if i did, i wouldnt use it, id find another mask or try the helmet. i can see the base coaches in my peripheral vision with a regular mask. i do not need to even see them, so i dont see why id need MORE of an open peripheral vision. i agree, and understand that it would not "hurt my game," but dont see a need for the change. if my car runs fine, and theres another one out there that runs fine as well, am i going to change? probably not. "if it aint broke, dont fix it."

if i run into trouble, i might look towards a hockey style mask
