mask extention question

[Platejob29]

I'm not a fan of the extensions on top of mask either. My Mizuno has one but it's very short so it doesn't bother me too much but I more or less got it just to add to the collection. I wore it today for the first time for two games but I think it's going to end up just being a display piece. I don't think I've ever had a ball get anywhere near hitting the top of my head so I don't really see the purpose of having the extension.
