Wilson titanium mask

[Kevin Finnerty]

Why does Diamond have such horrible pads? They would make serious inroads with that mask if the pads weren't so awful.

I know several guys who did what you said and swapped them out for Wilson wrap-arounds. (The coolest look is the all-black leather pads with the silver mask.)

But the Wilson titanium is going for as low as $170 new these days, and they're starting to pop up on ebay used for much less. I would rather have a Wilson to start with, but that Diamond/Wilson hybrid is a great alternative.
