About the Markwort Official Corkball Mask - Black
The Markwort Official Corkball Mask is a full size, black wire mask made for corkball, the small-ball cousin of baseball. Its wire bars are spaced 1-1/2 inches apart to protect the face from the smaller corkball, which is the reason a corkball catcher reaches for this mask and not a standard one.
Bar Spacing Sized for a Corkball
A corkball is far smaller than a baseball, and it comes off a thin bat at awkward angles: foul tips, short hops and pitches that move late. The 1-1/2 inch bar spacing on this mask is set with that smaller ball in mind. The frame is padded at the forehead and around the chin and jaw, and the padding is held to the frame with wraparound straps.
Who This Corkball Mask Is For
- Corkball catchers in league play
- Backyard and neighborhood corkball games where someone is catching behind the hitter
- Baseball coaches running small-ball hand-eye stations who want a catcher behind the batter
