Rip It was too heavy for me. I was used to plastic and the Rip It was 8 ounces heavier. Some girls prefer it, though.
I just got a email with this site and this topic.I coach 2 rec and 2 trav teams and all of my players wear mask. When I say all I mean all from outfield to the pitcher. I will put my 12u team against any team out there and dare for someone to down grade them for wearing a mask because they will get your respect at the end of the game.
The best way to look at this is like this..... There is not a coach out there from rec ball to clg ball that throws batting practice in a cage or on the field that does not get behind a screen or net. So if your players dont wear a mask then you dont throw batting practice behind the net!!!!!!

So I posted earlier in this thread that my freshman 3b DD wore a face mask and didn't care what other people said. Well DD made varsity and now doesn't want to wear it because the other varsity players don't. Thing is none of the other varsity players play 3b. Any advice? I prefer she wears it, especially since she will be going up against 18 year old seniors.

thx, will keep that in mind. Anything you recommend?
My oldest started with plastic mask but her vision was severely compromised. Both my girls now use the Rip It (my little one is small) but neither ever complain about weight or being uncomfortable.
