what are they wearing?

Maybe I've just been lucky but I've had hits where:

The mask gets bent.
Twisted around.
Almost knocked off.
Catcher has missed the ball completely and hits me square.

All in all some really nasty shots over the years. I only do games (99.9%) on the big field.

I use a Gerry Davis mask.

I haven't come close to getting my bell rung. Maybe I can take a "punch" or I'm a cement head as per my wife.

I sometimes wonder if the concussions occur because the mask isn't adjusted properly.

Incidentally I saw the hit and it went off the catcher and caught the PU square in the mask. I don't think it hit his collar bone.
