New Wilson Mask

[blindofficial]

So is everyone telling me that since I bought this mask, I will more then likely need a throat guard? I'm a newbie, so be nice. I like the mask. I've noticed how the throat guard goes "forward" so there is some areas of the throat that are left open...But as some say, "it'll never happen to ME!" (jk)

My personal opinion is that an additional dangling throat guard should be used with every traditional mask, even the ones with the extended frame. I've never gone without one. Each year I've been hit square on the throat guard and have felt it; however, as strong as the hits have been, it's just the force of the hit that I felt. Without the throat guard, I can't even imagine what I would have felt. For me, the guards have meant the difference between simply getting hit and suffering serious injury.

"You know who" is a phony. He is not a young eager to learn umpire. He is an older anonymous troll. Age has no bearing on idiots.

Wow I see that my post got deleted for pointing out that some umpires on here like to amuse themselves by sitting behind a computer screen and typing insults to the starter of the thread. I guess the moderators have an axe to grind . Quite biased if you ask me.

Indeed it doesn't.

Yeah you guys keep on typing those insults up . Whatever you've gotta do to stay amused.

To the point at hand, don't hang the throat protector off the lower rung. Move it up, and inward, and hang it there. To test it, put on your chest protector and mask, and draw your fist up toward your throat at about a 45 degree angle. The inboard placement will get those balls, where the outward one won't.

A) That's not why it was deleted. It was deleted because it had a link to a non-relevant You-Tube (or something) video.

B) No one asked you.

C) As far as I can tell, the starter of the thread has typed the most (and the most egregious) insults in this thread.

A) Sorry about the Youtube video.

B) I know nobody asked me, but nobody else seemed to care that we've got a gang of individuals sitting behind computer screens to flame a less experienced umpire.

C) I have never had any problems with boyinblue. He hasn't said anything that should offend anyone on here because the people that his comments were directed at deserved what they got. I will echo the statement he made earlier on in this thread; Umpdick, **** you, you *******.

To sum things up, the "moderators" on this forum are a complete joke. You chose to ban boyinblue because a bunch of flamers on this board decided to insult him. What is with some of you veteran umpires?

This is what Chuck posted. What did he say here to draw such nasty comments?

There was really no call for that. That is the reason you get such negative feedback. I've always tried to back you up on stuff, but you make it really hard when you curse someone out for no reason at all.

Dirty mouth? Clean it up with Orbit!
