Are you in a spelling bee or just happy you have finally discovered something that has been around for over 200 years?

ASA should discover it... or stop being stubborn... oh wait that will NEVER happen. but it sure is nice to think about it. I really do love this mask though...

I can't imagine spending so much for a small incremental improvement. I guess if you have money to burn, why not, but otherwise...

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

To each his own, worrying about chips and all, but how many of us have masks that fail because they are not strong enough? The Wilson Titanium is a nice looking mask, but at $200 a pop, until the price becomes more reasonable, fuggedaboutit... 3x the cost of a Diamond ultra light.

But, if you want to GIVE me one, I could be convinced!

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.

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.

Now this is something I want to hear!! The main reason I dont like the diamond or shutt as much is bc of the pealing coating then it looks like hell .... Thanks for the info!!!

I guess. He talked about ASA approving the mask when ASA does not approve umpire's mask. Then talks about ASA discovering titanium, but I think they are already aware of the properties of titanium

Then in a post notes how good the coating is. Well, if they are applying a coating, don't know why "black"couldn't be an option.

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.
