Ok, got a pic to upload on umpire.org, for some reason it wouldn't load here. It is under the mechanics section under the timing thread.

Yep, I changed em out. Always have liked the doeskin better. BTW, Honigs sent me a new one.

And yes it is very nice, just a little upset it bent. I would pay double as long as i knew the darn thing was gonna last, and not get bent on the first hit.

If you decide to unload the original pads, you know who to call first.

My question is did you have any problems with your head or anything with the low profile mask absorbing such a blow or did the mask do its job and protect you enough that you are confident in low profile masks?

A funny side note ...
When i told my wife about the situation and she saw they mask, she call me an Idiot and asked me why in the hell didn't I move out of the way! "You saw it coming right at you and you didn't move?"

I then gave her an umpiring lesson on the dangers of moving and exposing unprotected areas, like the side or back of my head. She then told me that i was still and Idiot, but a well trained one.

I just love now having a reason to have a back-up titanium.

Dam, Kevin, I'm jealous. I sure do wish I were in your tax bracket.
