Your mask should rest on the bill of your properly fitting, snug cap. The straps are just there to keep it from flopping off. The looser the better, as long as the pads are resting on your face when you're in your stance. I like 3-4" off my chin when I look at my shoes.

No one has really said why... if you wear it tight, then ALL of the energy of the ball is transferred to your face. Can cause concussions. If it's loose, then all of the energy of the ball is transferred into the motion of the mask. Same reasons they WANT cars to spin, roll, or fly apart when Nascar has a crash - dispersal of energy. We all saw what happened to 3 when his car did nothing but stop.

As they say, it's not the crash that kills you, it's the sudden stop.
