Would you consider your car safe? Could a baseball dent your car? If so, it could dent a mask. A dent doesn't make a mask unsafe when it's purpose isn't not to dent, but to protect your face.

Reason lighter masks gained popularity was that they were as hard as steel.
All new mask brands may dent. That's one crazy statement.
It may tie for the dumbest one this month.
CC6 is on the money here.
Time for a new mask.

I use a Wilson Dynal-Lite mask (blk) with tan doe-skin wrap around pads (very protective). For $89 its a great buy for what I truly feel is excellent protection. I would love to purchase a titanium mask and probably will. I would love to see and try one on. But even though its pricey, as a uniform/equipment fanatic, i fell compelled to give it a look. It may just become my one and only, as so many have said before me. Balls and strikes baby!!!!
