mizuno mask
 

I too am a mask junkie.I started out with a Davis F-W(very light),then Wilson New View (like it,but a lil heavy).Then a D1 ump turned me on to a Japan Mizuno Mask.....unreal view and lightest ever.If you can find one it'd be worth the time and money to invest in one

Could someone please point out the difference between a "mask whore" and a "mask junkie?" Is one a compulsion and the other an addiction?:confused: :eek: :p

+POS used to advertise their SUL as "extremely strong." In fact, the SUL was the flimsiest mask I ever owned. My +POS resin mask still looks brand new after much use. But I use a helmet now and will certainly never go back.

Well, it made it to the "extremely light" podium anyway.............

A whore does it for the money. :D

I always shake my head when I read posts like this regarding ANY mask being too heavy.

All modern masks are light, some lighter than others, but light nontheless.

If your neck can't hold up any modern mask for 1 or 2 games per day, work on your neck.

In the 1950s, the mask we used on the sandlot had belonged to one of the kids' dads. So it must have been from the 1930s or 1940s. The frame was made of heavy, thick wire, which extended in all directions well beyond the one large pad that fit all around the face. This mask must have weighed 6 pounds, maybe more. I think a sledge hammer would have been required to dent it.

The mitt was a thick round pad, flat with a ball-sized indention in the center for the "pocket." It was also quite heavy. You didn't open and close this mitt. You clapped your right hand over the ball when it hit.

Thank goodness for Johnny Bench and the hinged catchers mit.
