You can wipe with all the $tudie$--other than the sound of a blow being louder, there is no comparison to the actual impact of a straight shot to the cage. The Shock FX is markedly safer than any mask.

I took a serious shot to the mask wearing my Shock FX last week during a college game. Foul tip got me on the crossbar. Catcher chased down the ball & took it to the pitcher. Wasted some time. But I was ready to go immediately. I haven't felt one yet, great protection... but it does sound like a bomb going off inside the thing when it gets hit!

I still carry my conventional mask too. I just wear whatever I'm in the mood for that day.
