Bob Davidson +POS mask
Two of my buddies and I bought the Bob Davidson model super-light +POS mask this year. We've all already had a big dent put in the mask by foul balls. I was able to bang out my dent pretty well, then this past weekend I took another shot that completely broke a bar of the mask near the chin. The bar is severed. I had to run to my car during the game and grab a different mask.
I was told by a friend that since it is a "pro" mask, it is non-refundable, even if the mask was defective. I've worn the thing maybe 10 times and now it is useless. Has anyone else had problems with this mask? If so, I surely wouldn't reccommend it to anyone else... |

Let this be a warning, if you mask is damaged, don't try to fix it - throw it in the nearest trash can. If you don't have another or your partner can't lend you his, guess what? The game is over for today. Under no circumstances should you put on a defective mask - unless you have a death wish! |

My partner a few nights ago had the same thing happen to him with the same mask. Foul ball bent the lower bar real good. He called POS and they told him that there was nothing they could do.

Something to think about...
My All-Star Helmet has taken hits, that are about as nasty as they get, with no dents, or damage, for many years. My son also used an All-Star Mask as a catcher for many years with no damage. Maybe an All-Star Helmet or Mask is in line. They seem to make pretty good cages. Although All-Star Masks are not considered "Pro", they're Helmets are considered top of the line. You won't see a "Pro" wearing any other brand of Helmet. Whatever you buy, buy it from Honig's. They don't say, there's nothing they can do when a customer has a problem. Honig's is business done right. |

i can never explain this correctly, so ill just say i have 2 vertical bars on my AUL that are dented. it happens to every mask, and im not worried about it all that much. its actually not all that bad of a sign when your mask is dented, because it means the mask took the force and not your head/neck. now when masks take repeated hard shots that make dents "more dented", then its something to think harder about.
also, what is the Bob Davidson mask? i own both types of +POS masks and neither say anything about Davidson, nor does the website. |

With the "Balkin'Bob" Plus Pos mask, your strike zone may go to he!!, but your balk calls will triple...and like Plus Pos' policy, nobody can do anything about either. :D |

If they did, you would run into the situation we have here with a local sporting goods store- they have guaranteed a number of brands of hockey sticks and baseball bats that they carry against breakage for 30 days! So guess what? The worst kept secret in town is that on day 29, you find a way to snap or crack your stick or bat, and you get a new one. Essentially, it's an everlasting bat! No idea how they're staying in business. Bainer. |
