Slow pitch: Mask or no mask

[7in60]

Where are you guys positioned? Softball Canada recommends the inside slot which I changed to a few years ago. The logic is that you are less likely to get hit there, and with ~70% batting right, you get into the field more quickly.

At the slo-pitch Provincial Championships in London last weekend I had a girl who was swinging late and low, so the only 3 pitches she saw came back at me.

I have never worn a mask in SP but I have an ultra lightweight one, and in theory you would take it off less in SP. I have soccer shin guards that I used to wear as a player that I should probably start wearing behind the plate. About once a month I take a slo pitch off the shin.
