Wilson WTA3010 catcher’s mask frame w/ Wilson visor and Rawlings Pwmx pads and Rawlings harness. Bottom - F3 v2 defender wih no logo throat guard (works well with this mask). Rawlings Pwmx frame w/ Wilson WTA3010 mask pads and Wilson harness. (Switched the padding and harness on the Rawlings and Wilson mask frames. Works nicely) Bottom picture - Wilson dynalite steel mask w/fm4000 pads and Champion throat guard. I also use an F3 V2 with a throat guard with no logo. Works better than my Markwort with Team Wendy pads. Felt nothing when hit in the mask with batted balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still trying to get used to having to wear this mask so tightly, and I've been lucky enough not to take a shot in it yet, but I'm only two games in, so there's time. New throat guard to match that mask coming soon from Force3. Stay tuned! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not even going to ask how you got one, because it’s nigh-impossible to repeat. I got the chance to try one on. The Taiwanese National Team was playing the Brewers AA roster, and 3 of the 4 catchers on the TNT roster had one of these beauties. It weighs nothing. I am actually going to correspond with the KNT and TNT over the winter, and see if I can barter with them to bring me one this next spring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we get an interesting mask to @MadMax... PLEASE? This is the second time in less than a week he has reacted like this. First was my post about capturing a Nike Icon once again. And now @HCueds' rare Mizuno TI. WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN? Or at least think of Max? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually going to correspond with the KNT and TNT over the winter, and see if I can barter with them to bring me one this next spring. I got my All Star FM4000MAG about ten minutes ago. After adjusting the harness straps a six stitch is no issue fitting under the mask. And light? Holy smokes. I thought the Wilson Titanium was light, but the MAG seems like you're not holding anything. I had to shake the shipping box just to make sure something was in the box. Now to get those gray pads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we all are appreciative of his well thought out and articulated review articles. All hail MadMax. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluetick48 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I was thinking of getting my Nike Ti powder coated and I found a local shop down the road 3 miles from me . I called “local guy” up last week for a quote and he said bring it in and I can do it for $15 per mask or 2 masks for $20. Dropped my Nike and Wilson Ti off on Monday and picked them up this afternoon. Pretty happy with the investment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a matter of if I do it myself or have Tony do it. And I haven't been back to Corvallis in a few weeks. So there may be another one for me. I did see a really nice Shock FX at my local Play It Again. Really nice shape. But the helmet is Forrest Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
