how do they fit...have you used the mask w/ the new pads?

They fit exactly the same as the ones I pulled out, and I have only used the mask with the all tan doe skin. It fit and fwelt great. Will take a pic and post tonight.

Both kinds fit. The ones with the black on the outside are only vinyl on the outside, and are calfskin or doeskin on the inside (the original titanium ones are calfskin inside and the replacement ones pictured from BTL may be doeskin on the inside). The all light-colored ones are all doeskin.

My first Wilson, I changed out the pads and put in the ones that Durham referred to, and they were great. Very thick and light, but not quite as soft, or seemingly as light as the ones that come on the titanium. But it's a hard distinction to make; they're both fantastic, and I would use no other.

cool thanks

Whenever you buy a seemingly expensive piece of pro gear, you take a gulp. But from the time you touch this thing, the cost is no longer a factor. It's a dynamic change in your face protection, and it is truly fantastic.

Mask
 

I have worn mine for two scrimmages - I love it. Expensive, yes, but the view is terrific.

Most guys would snap it up if they knew how much better you can see through the lighter bars. Guys who haven't tried it think it's some imagined phenomenon, but the view is better.

okay, you guys pushed me off of the fence. I ordered one today, should have it by the end of the week. Hopefully it lives up to the hype!

Very good, Johnny!

Welcome to the Titanium club! (Or the Tit club for short.)

Tit Club
 

Pronounced Tight? Just want to be sure. I'm already in a club for the other pronunciation.

:d:d

I recently attended a local association clinic that had some light plate work. When a friend of mine, and one of my college assignors, saw my new titanium, he looked at it and said, "I don't know how anyone would take you seriously wearing that." He went on saying that it looks like a toy, etc. I just had to laugh. I'm looking forward to wearing it with live pitching.

Ignoramuses like your assignor are part of what makes umpiring so fascinating.

Interesting.

I've enjoyed my toy since last July!
