Hsm

[jdmara]

Maybe I'm just not searching for the right keywords but I can't find a recent thread on hockey style masks

I have used the traditional mask style since I began umpiring 7 years ago. I'm curious as to how many of you use a HSM. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using one? What brands/styles would everyone recommend or pass on?

TIA!

Edit: In addition, are there any differences between the catcher and umpire HSM that you all know of?
