Tight But Whole
I am pitching my first tourney this weekend and I just went out yesterday and bought this exact list of equipment... worth gameface, lacrosse shin guards, and a bioflex cup... wife thought it was stupid but then I asked her what would happen if I got hit in the face in front of our kids and she agreed with me... good $100 investment.

Don't cheap out on the mask....it simply isn't worth it.
For me Gameface is the perfect mask as far as fit, visibility and price.
Worth helmet and Combat Faceoff are probably better masks but neither fit well on my head.
Gameface = $35
Worth helmet = $55
Combat Faceoff = $75
IMO those are the top 3, take your pick but get one of them!

I like pitching masks.............Especially the ones with the really cool paint jobs..........They give me a target to aim for.

You've been riding Warpath's coat tails too long. Go break in that new Salvo and quit your feeble troll attempts.

Ha, ha, ha......Everyone knows that I stay out of the middle......It's only there for hits, not hurts.

I will not pitch at all BP included with out my WORTH pitching helmet.... Accidents happen all of the time and I am confident in my ability to field the ball but people with no bat control and bad hops happen

This is GTG. I may put a target on mine and actually start wearing it. Could be fun.
ASA = foot on rubber
USSSA = foot in pitchers box so you can pitch from completely behind the rubber
OP, this is the way to go. Very light, very comfy, and better protection than a mask.

That's a sweet looking mask.
I wear a RIP-It mask right now- will be going Worth next year. The rip it - Fits well- good visibility. I can wear my sunglasses underneath it. I haven't taken a direct shot; but I did take a weird hop hot grounder that smacked it dead center. It absorbed the blow no damage to the frame at all- but did turn the mask side ways on my face. I was glad I had it on.

Probably a few times, but I try to stay out of middle. I don't want to hurt anyone and you all are far too close.

The same guy who called our pitcher a 'pu**y' for wearing one got knocked out on a bad hop to first...

Worth pitching helmet. Full protection and has better visibility than the worth gameface. Not worth the risk of pitching without one.

I took a line drive to the face last march. I actually put my glove up to fast and missed the ball. Since then I bought a gameface and won't pitch without it...everyone calls me the hanibal hhaha...I even bought a mc david hex pad which is under armor with a pad in it to protect your heart...now I won't pitch with out either of them.
