Schutt Ultra Lite Vs. Diamond Ultra Lite

[Steve M]

I have the Diamond, since it was given to me. I've used it for a few weeks now and taken a few glancing fouls and 1 in a men's game. I'm sold that it will take a shot. I use an 8-stitch hat all the time and have not had any problems.

Yep, that mask is really lightweight and doesn't seem as strong as it is, just don't bring it to an ASA game......oh, nevermind. Forgot to whom I was speaking.

I think I remember a couple of them in use at an ASA tournament recently.
There is a black one available and I'll assume that meets ASA's requirement.

I think the UIC told him about it last weekend. I believe the UIC had the same issue with another umpire who traveled from a neighboring state.

I guess, when umpires turn "pro" they do whatever the heck they so please.

Too bad someone didn't work out a deal on undershirts. That guy goes through them like he goes through Molsons.

Actually, I think it's the results of the Molson's that goes thru the t-shirts. I wrung one out Sunday afternoon & filled a cup.

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.

Are you talking about not bringing the Diamond to an ASA game? If so I am confused....I bought my Diamond from my ASA state commish.

BTW I love the mask, a certain female umpire recommended it to me, she had the Shutt but got a Diamond given to her and said they felt about the same.

Only if it is not black.
