FORCE3 V2 Mask for Sale

[ump7tony]

Retired from working college ball so I'm selling this latest version mask with 3 shock absorbing springs, leather pad, and the $30 F3 sunshield. These are selling new for $230. I'm selling this very good condition mask...no tears, dents, chips, etc... for $100 plus shipping.

No panda top pad

gnhbua93   What's a "panda top pad"?? This mask has all of the factory stock pieces including the extra sunshield.

Force 3 has a pad that covers the springs better on the top 

[ump7tony]

My V2 mask looks just like the stock photos on the Force3 website. There is no mention of an optional pad. Is it something sold by a third party? Anyone have a pic of a "panda pad"?

[The Short Umpire]

Not to speak for him but I think he is referring to the fact that the chin pad is two-ton but the top pad is not… 🤷‍♂️

[ump7tony]

The lower pad has a leather area (on this mask it's tan) that is not a feature of the V1 mask. Many guys like the feel of leather on their chin vs the vinyl feel of the V1 mask. The upper pad on both versions does not have a leather area since most guys wear hats/helmets and "feel" is not applicable in that area. 

I doubt they're referring to the two-tone lower pad. gnhbua93 mentioned "No panda top pad" and tpatience "Force 3 has a pad that covers the springs better on the top". 

gnhbua93   Are you pointing out that Force3 does not offer a leather area on their upper pad? This mask has everything they do currently offer. 

[The Short Umpire]

I understand that this mask is everything they currently offer. Your mask has the improved pad to cover the top springs better that tpatience is talking about. What else could he be asking about other than why the top isn't two tone. He probably thinks that because the bottom is that the top should be as well; even though that is not how Force3 sells them. We'll see if he ever responds though.

Why go to all the trouble of finding lighter mask materials if you are going to put a 4,000 pound pad on it?

😋

[ump7tony]

The Man in Blue     Basic physics. Conservation of momentum.  Mass1 x velocity1 = Mass2 x velocity2 where mass1 is the velocity of the ball and mass2 is the velocity of the mask crashing back onto your face. 

Solving for velocity2...        5ounces x 90mph = 4000lbs x 16ounces/pound x velocity2

                                            velocity2 = 0.007mph = barely a nudge on your face  

Oh...wait...were you just being facetious? Sorry, the engineer in me got carried away.   😄   :-)

Yes I misspelled tone. However, what you seem to be forgetting is that anyone using a force 3 is indeed not trying to find light mask materials… just saying… 🤔

Can you check on USPS flat rate shipping to 96816 Honolulu? Should be about $20. Thank you.

[ump7tony]

Hi rhinolith...  Ground Advantage would be $20. Not sure how "ground" can be done across the Pacific 😄                          Only issue...it will take almost 3 weeks to get to you by that method. Priority Mail would get there in about a week and is only $4 more. 

If you want the mask, i'll cover the extra $4 so your cost would be $120 shipped. Does that work for you? If yes, message me and we'll work out the details privately. Thanks...Tony   ump7tony
