| Jan. 3, 2016 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | i use a ripit mask for best vision when fielding..(metal only for me)....when playing the infield...and add a coaches helmet when pitching..just put it on like a catcher would.....get a helmet with some good ventilation on the top...... |
| Jan. 3, 2016 TM44 Men's 55 11 posts | I think for pitching you can't beat this mask http://www.anacondasports.com/Worth-Slowpitch-Softball-Pitchers-Helmet/dp/B009R9MPF8 |
| Jan. 4, 2016 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | TM44...i had one of those to start with and didn't like it as my vision was hampered...specially down at my feet.....it also was not conducive to warm weather wear......its the reason i wear a rip-it mask and coaches helmet when pitching...covers the head and face and i can still see pretty good...no blind spots like the worth mask..and ventilation is way better than the worth..... |
| Jan. 4, 2016 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | oh forgot to add....the rip-it is half the price of the worth mask or less...... |
| Jan. 4, 2016 TM44 Men's 55 11 posts | mad dog...I've been wearing my Worth mask for two years so it doesn't seem to hamper by vision and I feel safe wearing it. I agree with you about it being hot in warm weather though. I love the rip-it mask also, I wear it when i'm playing an infield position. |
| Jan. 4, 2016 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | TM44...i have been wearing a mask for the last 4 yrs now....i started with the worth helmet for pitching...that lasted about 5 games..for pitching......and the rip-it for the infield...i than started using the rip-it all the time....than saw a guy using the coaches helmet..wearing it like a catcher does.....yes that worth mask is nice and such...but to hot here in texas for me....finally sold it beginning of last yr.....have fun this yr and good luck.......stay safe... |
| Jan. 6, 2016 Don5 Men's 75 69 posts | mad dog, yes its good to wear a face mask, but you mentioned that your vision was "hampered...specially down at my feet" did someone tell you that or did you look in a mirror, I don't think you can see your feet looking down.... :) |

| Jan. 25, 2018 BubbleHead96 27 posts | This past season I was pitching with a Worth mask and I took a ricochet of my glove that struck me just under the edge of my mask. Broke my jaw in two - to the point the doctor thought it was a car accident because As I found later and talked to other people that wear the Worth, the mask will ride up if you lift your head. So I moved this year to a Lacrosse mask as it is rated for a strike to the helmet and is more protective on the lower face. Now I am looking into a Cricket helmet as it is also rated for being struck but also extends the face protection away from the lower face and appears to have more visibility. https://www.amazon.com/Masuri-M-LSNM-Original-Legacy-Cricket/dp/B01GIGQS4Q/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1516933875&sr=8-4&keywords=cricket+helmet |

| Jan. 27, 2018 Fleck14 Men's 55 7 posts | I have the Ripit and Worth masks in my bag, they both work really well and provide good visibility. The Worth mask comes with a built in helmet which I HIGHLY recommend as a veteran pitcher. It's adjustable so you can make it fit good to wear over your hat turned backwards. After the the last out you can take it off and you have your hat ready to roll. The Ripit works best for me at 3B on a choppy field or bad sun, more suited towards infielders. Either way, always protect the MoneyMaker!! (I heard that from a top college coach) |
