I am not disputing with those in charge of production. I am disputing the fact that new products come out as advertised. If I had the choice between a HSM and a titanium mask, I'd be leaning toward the HSM right now. I don't see those HSM guys admit they suffered a concussion wearing a brand new mask or that it bent after the 1st shot. You know what I'm saying.

Ask me if I care what the owners of a +POS SUL mask, hockey style mask or the new view mask say about them. I don't remember so many garbage stories when the original lightweight mask came into use. I don't remember so many injury reports years back. Do I need to increase my insurance coverage? Well, if concussions are hazards of the occupation, perhaps I'll walk away before NFHS require umpires to wear a HSM. Just something to think about.
