Plus Pos Zero Gravity compared to Wilson Aluminum

[mbkcoach]

How similar is the plus pos to the new aluminum wilson mask? The plus pos zero gravity is aluminum correct?

nope ....  "3 stage alloy" .......

Which is a fancy name for aluminum alloy right? Should ask my dad worked for Reynolds Metals for 30 years.

I have no idea

My best professional estimate is that the ZRO-G is "Stage 3 Alloy" hollow steel. Dan (the owner of +POS) is quite innovative, and I get the impression that that particular mask layout / shape / design has been around for awhile. Without getting the direct answer, I believe the Nike Titanium, Nike NRS, and the Wilson A3000 (pre DynaLite) are all similar because they were all based off each other.

The ZRO-G is the "deepest" of the three. The Wilson DynaLite (of which the new Aluminum is a member of the family) is going to be quite similar. The only distinguishing characteristics are the Wilson's more pointed U-inverted-U bars, and the single horizontal ear struts.

@MadMax thanks for your answer.  The plus pos is not magnetic so I was wondering if it was steel.

[MadMax]

It's not magnetic?? Do you have one and are trying to put refrigerator magnets on it?

@mbkcoach, I'm only able to speculate, based on what I know of mask construction, material properties, a conversation I had with Dan earlier this year, and the price point(s) of the mask(s). $59 is a bit low for aluminum, since it takes more tailored welding to do aluminum right. The same can be said regarding the Diamond DFM-iX3... $79 is far too low for Titanium. It has to be something commonplace, which tends to be steel. It might be an alloy that is _weakly_ magnetic.

yes to refrigerator magnet! lol thanks for your help Madmax

Zero g is alloy steel. It's hollow

You guys don't pin notes to your mask with refrigerator magnets? Come on guys, get with IT!

How else do you remember things?
