Wilson titanium mask
 

Been waiting for these to come out...Gerry Davis is selling them for $199 till September, when they "expect" that they'll go to $249.

I'm a sucker. I bought one. I love the view of the "New View" but found it a bit top heavy. This should fix that issue. I also sold my barely used New View within a few minutes for $40 or so.

i like the look of the grey, but not with two-tone pads (minor issue, i have all black pads i could use), and definitely not in "new view" style.

Is this a "low-profile" mask ? The type that has reportedly increased concussions among pro umpires ?

Davis is unloading the New View masks for $60 now, a whopping $30 off, probably as a result of many complaints/concussions.

I felt like the amara suede wrap around pads on a Dyna-Lite I bought at the beginning of the season added unnecessary weight to the mask. I hate the wrap around pads!

Try a black Sharpie.

Bought one also and sold my New View last weekend for $65.00

From the Davis website:

"The Wilson Titanium mask is built with the same low-profile design as the Wilson New View mask, but the Titanium is significantly lighter."

maybe catchers should be catching the freaking ball so we dont have to worry about it.

yeah, that will happen.

Good luck with that.

The wraparound pads are what absorb the impact when a mask like the New View gets slammed by a ball. I went to these pads this year on my New View mask and the very first day I put them on, I got beaned by a fastball that the catcher never touched. It went straight from the pitcher to my lower left side of the mask. What a bang that was! My pads absorbed the impact, which was still strong.

I just have this to say about the new Wilson Titanium Mask: 200 frackin' dollars for a standard style, non-HSM mask?!? Good Lord! That's ridiculous!

I fixed your post.:D

Davis is selling them new for $60.

I sold mine for $40. So it's only $160 for me for the new mask, which arrived yesterday. Immediately put my +POS harness on it, as I always do with any mask that is my "primary" mask (I carry a backup with me).
