Negrini non-FIE masks...problems

Yesterday at the last high school event of the season, I failed 5 masks. FOUR of them were the same model Negrini non-FIE foil/epee mask. I have now seen SEVEN of the same type mask fail within the last 2 months, including one that was damn near a Smirnov.

I would recommend staying away from this mask for the time being. I will no longer sell them until I find the steel is stronger.

The FIE mask, however, is fine.
