Greetings brethren,

     I have been wanting to pull the trigger on the above mask for a few months. HQ4sports.com has it listed at $89.99 minus a $5 coupon and plus $9 for shipping. Has anyone seen a better price on this mask? Also, has anyone ever ordered from this website and was it a clean transaction?

The Wilson DynaLite Aluminum (or DynAlum) is fairly static at around $100. This is likely equipped with either Wilson MemFoam pads, or their stock-standard leather pads. If/when they team them up with Wraparounds, the price goes up by at least $20.

In regards to buying this mask, you're not going to see it for much less because the margins are so tight in relation to wholesale (Wilson) / retail (online seller). Wilson can optimally place it at the circa $100 price point because the mask, being aluminum, is much less likely to break, and virtually impervious to bend... unlike Titanium and Hollow Steel models. Diamond has been offering their signature aluminum model (the DFM-UMP (originally iX3)) for nearly a decade, and had offered it at $65. With Wilson introducing an Aluminum model, Diamond was justified to raise the price tag by $20. The whole "A rising tide lifts all boats" thing...
