HSM and Hats

[emtp]

I wear a HSM, if your worried about messed up hair cut it short, if you wear your hair longer wear a hat and mask, with the foul tips I've been hit with wearing both the mask and HSM, never going back to the mask, our area has no preferance on hat or not but only a couple of us wear the HSM. I'm still relatively new, umping 5 years, is there a giudeline some where for the hat no hat and does it address the HSM or do they allow personal preferance? Thanks in advance for any help.

I wear a 7 7/8 hat, use the Easton HSM and have had absolutely no trouble with wearing a hat under the HSM. The hat stays put when the mask comes off and it fits fine.

Everything you described tells me you don't have your HSM fitted right.

I've had three HSM's and all of them are fitted correctly. They are uncomfortable with the hat. Period. End of story.

The point is your opinion isn't all that matters. Others have feelings on the issue and just because they disagree with yours doesn't make them wrong.

In fact the obvious truth that the HSM is made to be worn WITHOUT a hat probably puts you on the wrong side of the argument.

Make a choice and go with it.

Can I get an Amen?

More evidence confirming this opinion--if I were to wear a four-stitch hat underneath my HSM, it would still project further than the mask itself.

I would be willing to bet the farm that you have NEVER been hit with a foul tip.
