The verdict is still pending on the Titanium mask.

The only time I would use an HSM is if there was some sort of overhang that jutted out from the backstop, and I needed to avoid getting hit on the head. Other than that, the HSM seems like a waste of money.

I get why some like the HSM. It does offer better visibility, no doubt. Others like its comfort, and some dig it because they don't have to wear a hat. Still others like the Monroe-matics attached to the cage, that absorb the shock. It may seem like a waste of $ to you, but I don't begrudge others for making the investment.

I wouldn't begrude others for buying one. Just saying it's not for me.
