I just heard the impact instead of felt it.

Well put, but man, do you hear it (at least with the All-Star 2000). It's almost like a firecracker going off near your head.

My +POS SUL zero gravity was all dented up after one season. The black resin mask they sold a few years ago is still mint after many games. I wonder why they discontinued that item.

I heard it was because it was found that in low temps it had a tendency to shatter/crack on impact. I have no direct evidence on this, however.

ive heard/read it was more from the effect heat plays on it, like sitting in your hot trunk all day. thats just what i remember though, could be both situations actually.

im also interested in what bob asked about.
