Sorry if that doesn't show up as a link, I'm on an iPad.

Has anyone used that mask? Seems like it might be a nice rig with some TW pads.

To me, that looks like a Diamond frame.

Looks like a Champro frame to me, but I like it.

I know it's not a Champro frame for sure.

I don't think it's a Diamond either. Pull up pictures of both of them. There are at least two differences in the frames.

Edit: I count four differences now.

Maybe is a Japanese frame.

I've been informed it's the very first version of the Diamond before they went to the frame they use now.  Interesting.

I agree. When I got back in several years ago I almost bought one. It looked exactly like the diamond at the time.

Why not get the lightweight Honig's mask, pre-loaded with the TW pads? It's about the same price.

I would not consider the Honigs mask light weight. It is pretty heavy when you compare it to other frames.

Ump-Attire sells the Diamond frame by itself for $45.00. I bought it, a Wilson MLB harness ($12.00), and the grey Wilson wrap-around pads ($28.00) for mine. You could load it with the TWs or whatever you wanted. That may be more cost-effective than ordering the Davis mask.

Worked with a guy Sunday that has the Davis mask. Pads are junk. I think they are same bad diamond pads. Buy the frame from UA and load it with what you like

It is the same mask as the Diamond except more money. But the Diamond from U-A

I have this mask, and it's loaded with TW pads, feels very nice. I took about 4 shots to the mask this season prior to the TW pads, and one with the TW pads. No issues.

The Gerry Davis frame is just an early model Diamond with Davis pads in it. I would not recommend either mask to anyone though. I wore the Diamond with Wilson wrap around two-tone pads when I started umpiring and only wore it for 3 months before upgrading. The reason I upgraded was because of two concussions I got while wearing it. Both times on 11u select kid ball games. My dad also got a concussion running the same rig only with all tan wrap around pads on a 10u game. Even as good as Team Wendy pads are I don't think they can make that frame any safer.
