I'll give you my vote after next weekend. Have been using the Schutt for a few years and absolutely love it. But, I decided I needed a new one. So I just purchased the Diamond one. Will try it out for the first time next weekend.

here are a few reasons why this mask is worth it. The coating doesnt chip: the shutt the diamond and the gerry davis feather weight all do have coating and all do chip. the frame is stronger than the hollow tube or solid frames ( except maybe wilson chro-molly). the mask is as light as or lighter than the light weight masks that are on the market.. the only thing you have to replace on this mask is the pads and those particular pads take a LONG time to wear out. this means less money to put in the mask thus the mask is worth it

The new Diamond black mask that was released in June is now powder coated rather than rubber coating. Though the black powder coating is shiny similar to the rubber coating, it will not chip or peel.

And, Sergio, I think you made a great choice:D

I have been wearing it around the house, getting used to it. (Yes, I wear it indoors only, don't want to scare the neighbors). I can tell it's just as light as my Schutt. But, KCG, what sold me the mask was the "no chipping/peeling" idea. That was the only negative I had with my Schutt.

Im talking about ASA not being up to date with certain things such as the mask. I know that my ASA UIC and to the state bordering my north and south and their UIC's will gig you for wearing that mask. the time has come for ASA to get with it update their mechanics and stop being so rediculously stubborn.

I like my four-year-old Wilson just fine. It hasn't chipped at all, even when I got reallllllly pi$$ed off at a partner about three weeks ago and slammed it against a wall, it was just fine. Unfortunately, it doesn't fly as far when I throw it in a rage as did my old two-pound mask, but still is very, very good. It has taken other ringing hits and as long as it will still helicopter I am happy.
