Windpact pads on Wilson frames?

[SeeingEyeDog]

So, I finally rigged up my Windpact pads onto an old Wilson steel black powder coated frame. It seems to fit well enough to wear in a game but, obviously the pads are really designed for the UA frame that ships with these pads. My question is, if these pads work in a Wilson steel frame does that mean that will also work in a Wilson Ti frame? Or does the Wilson Ti frame have different geometry? Is anyone out there using Windpacts on a Wilson Ti currently? I've been contemplating a Wilson Ti acquisition which I will likely do whether these pads work in it or not...

Looks like EvoShield from here. 
 

@Scissors and @wolfe_man have already mounted WindPact pads in Adidas Icon frames (and, I think a DynAlum), but the Icon planform and the Wilson Dynalite planforms are virtually the same, save small details (arrowhead ear struts vs. horizontal ear struts; zero rake on XCG vs 15°-20° rake on XCG; slight difference in bullring & wicket) that really don’t affect how pads fit. I’ve mounted EvoShield WindPacts on three Rampage frames, now, and written about them at length. 

Eh, do whatcha want.  You’re not going to listen to us anyway.

As much as I would like to do as I'm told? Because that of course is what I live for...I don't have a choice.

Since acquiring my Windpact pads, there have not been any Evoshield frame only or Adidas frame only for sale. (If there were? I missed them...) I posted previously that a Rampage leaves my jaw line exposed and is not a good fit for me which is unfortunate because it's a great mask.

I'm going to try this Wilson/Windpact rig on Saturday and I'll report back...assuming I survive the trauma...

In the past, I have seen Adidas masks (with pads of assorted colors which would just get trashed by us anyways) on Ebay for really great prices. Something like $40 with $20 shipping. Which on the whole is not bad.

Man, they're hard to find under $99 now.  It's like everybody decided they were going to mark them up all at once - those and the Nike NRS frames, just jumped all of a sudden.

The NRS doesn't surprise me. But the Adidas does.
