Hey Bob, in the discussion on face masks, you speak highly of the Ripit. Just wondering about your thoughts on the mask from the standpoint that I wear glasses. Is it adjustable enough to accomodate glasses?
Others thoughts, as well? Thanks
i have used my sunglasses underneath the rip-it mask with no problem.....mine came with a visor that Velcro's to the top,i didn't care for that as i don't wear a hat when playing.......a few weeks back when we had a cold spell here i even used my stocking/beanie cap underneath it....to me the rip-it has the best vision among the masks...i have used the gameface and the combat faceoff,and both of those cut off some of your down vision at your feet,unless you make a real effort to look down...i also have the worth pitching helmet,which is nice and light but does have a vision prol down low(at your feet)if you happen to not look down completely.....
for me its a metal mask or nothing,as i don't trust the plastic ones......
I have always worn glasses under my Game Face mask (and the Rip-It before I found it too tight)without a problem. The big problem with Game Face is that visibility is somewhat affected on ground balls. I even wear my mask in rec and league play, and so have learned to field grounders by instinct which works until there is a bad hop! =)And of course, any fielding errors I make on ground balls are always "bad hops" (my teammates are gracious).
Thanks, Mad Dog and Omar K, for your thoughts. I was able to find a Ripit in one of the local sportings goods store in Birmingham and believe that it will work out well.
I have never worn a mask, but figure that all other associations will soon follow SSUSA, so I will just start wearing it now.
God bless and Merry Christmas/Happy New Year.
Bob really loves that Rip It Mask - especially since his team mates asked to wear it on - and off the field too......LOL he hasn't figured it out yet.....
Remember what they say about Mad Dogs you don't put a mask on them you put a muzzle on them!!!!!!!!!
remember hitman...mad dogs have rabbi's and inflict nasty bites.......
