ump7tony Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ump7tony Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 gnhbua93 What's a "panda top pad"?? This mask has all of the factory stock pieces including the extra sunshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ump7tony Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 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"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Short Umpire Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 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… 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ump7tony Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Short Umpire Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 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.

ump7tony Posted January 23 Author Report Share Posted January 23 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. 😄 :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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… 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhinolith Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Can you check on USPS flat rate shipping to 96816 Honolulu? Should be about $20. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ump7tony Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
