Guys, I know this may seem like a rookie question, but I'm having a time adjusting my mask with these new TW pads! :-(

 

The mask doesn't seem to "hang" properly like with my old Wilson pads. Any advise as to where the side harness straps would make a difference? . . . Upper or lower area of the ear piece?

 

TIA

 

:-)

straps usually wrap around the upper part of the ear piece.  Most guys will ask you to post pics here so we can have a better look at your struggles and how to fix them.

The TW's do fit differently than the WIlson wrap-arounds (these are the pads I used before I switched to TW's).  While you are at home, make small adjustments to the straps one at a time to see what "feels" right to you.  Trying to make these adjustments on the field between innings is often a rushed process, but more importantly it is taking your eyes off of the field (yes we still have responsibilities between innings).

 

I've never had a mask which took me more than 5 minutes to get adjusted to my liking.  I wouldn't expect it to take any longer for anyone else.
