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!!!
