After a few months of using it, I took a close look at my +POS Super Ultra Light Zero Gravity mask and saw not only that the "extremely strong" (says the +POS catalogue) bars had been dented inward in several places, but also that the entire frame of the mask had been knocked askew.

Anyone else have this experience?

Nope. Mine is fine, and I've taken several fouls to the mask. No dings, no dents.

I've never umpired for a coach who could hit that hard...

my AUL is dented in two places, both of the vertical bars that are coming up to the bottom of the eye opening are dented in a decent bit, but those are the only two dented ones. i rememeber the foul ball that caused the left one to bend (chest high fastball, the guy barely, barely got a piece of it), but the other one just showed up one day.

Have you contacted the retailer or manufacturer. Sounds like a warranty claim.

Hell, my West Vest steel mask is bent up more than that.
