What mask to buy
Hey guys I am sorry for bothering you guys once again I did get my new West Gold CP on wed. tried it on and like it so thanks for your info guys now im ready to buy a mask so I was wondering what mask you use and why you like it or why you dont like other masks from what I can get from reading everything is the Diamond is the lightest but the pads arent any good and the Wilson is the most comfortable so if I buy the Diamond do I need to replace the pads immediatly if so with what other pads (Wilsons pads ?) will Wilson pads fit a Diamond mask or does Diamond make better pads that you can upgrade to also if you have any other suggestions on other masks I would like to hear them as well
Thanks guys Last edited by jl2207; Fri Jan 23, 2009 at 02:58pm. |

I would go with this mask, the west vest one.
http://www.umpirejoewest.com/umpiremasks.htm or this mask the new titanium one, http://www.honigs.com/detail.asp?Cat=2&Sub=36&Item=1064 both are super light and very comfortable. The WV mask is the only one I have used since 1997, and this year I will wear the Titanium one with my new WV Gold and they both feel great on. BTW, I used the same WV mask from the fall spring of 97 until this year. Needless to say it was very durable. Last edited by Durham; Fri Jan 23, 2009 at 02:20pm. |

I am constantly amused when we umpires talk about a LIGHT mask. Come on, guys!
The Wilson Titanium weighs 1.10 lbs, the Davis Ice Gray weighs 1.45 lbs., the Wilson New View weight 1.45 lbs., the Wilson Dyna Lite weighs 1.98 lbs., and the Wilson Shock FX helmet weighs 3.50 lbs. If your neck can't support ANY of these, don't worry about the mask, work on the strength of you neck! |

Wilson Dyna-Lite, Honig's Single Bar, or Wilson Titanium (if money is no object). Thats my advice. |

jl2207,
I understand Honigs has a special going on where, if you buy their punctuation "starter package", they'll throw in some free capitalization. Man, I would have run out of breath before finishing all that. Oh, and "school" has nothing to do with it. I use a Wilson DynaLite, which I've been quite happy with. JM

I think those are the ones that got deleted. At least mine did. Punctuation is important in writing. And, it's just common courtesy to mix in commas and periods occasionally.
