Re: Article about Hand Layup versus Machine.


Plante..
You want some FACTS?
FACT..not the lightest mask!
FACT..DEFINETLY not the strongest mask!
FACT..I went to his place. All that he has is a 15ft by 15ft office. The rest of the small building is a tire place. No machines..no spray booth..no materials to make a mask to be found anywhere. All that was there was empty boxes ( probably what the shells were shipped in to him ) cages and his drum set. You couldn't even move in his office it was so small and crowded. The guy is a middle man that assembles the units together. He doesn't even polish his cages like he claims.

Re: Article about Hand Layup versus Machine.


I dont know why you seem to get bent out of shape all the time about masks. There are many good maskmakers and they are all going to think their mask is better than someone elses. I think you are use to people on the other goalie message board fighting over masks. Here we are pretty relaxed and discuss masks instead of arguing over them.

Re: Article about Hand Layup versus Machine.


For Anyone who has ever studied existential philosophy - There are no facts, there can only be subjective interpretations of events and or data....
 And Sartre and Camus are both dead so it doesn't really matter does it?
And what can be more banal and and futile than discussing goalie masks? But we like to anyway (at least i do).
I like Tony and i think he makes a great mask and believe what i believe (thats subjectivism) because i want to believe it. It''s like belief in God, you do or you don't or you're not sure; either way it's difficult to prove. And i don't really care what others think or say about him (Tony not God). More importantly i don't feel i need to be right. Nor do i ever feel it necessary to compare or territorial piss (my masks are better than so and so's ...or crap on other mask makers, they're all good) because what does it matter? Really?
Mark B; right on brother I agree whole heartedly with what you said

Re: Article about Hand Layup versus Machine.


I asked WHERE does he get his shells from if he doesn't make them? You gave me every answer but. You should lighten up. Starbucks says their coffee is the best but is it? They don't make the beans either!

Plante..
        There are many good masks out there. Warwick, Stacey, Pro's choice and NXI to name a few are much stonger and lighter. There are so many places Tony could go to have his shells made. Not sure where he goes, nor do I really care. But he doesn't make them like he claims! All I'm saying is don't beleive everything in his article.

Re: Article about Hand Layup versus Machine.


buster ...the question isn't about what you're saying the question is "why" are you saying it?
All those masks makers are good; all claim to be lightest and best etc. And You believe that their masks are the better, and that Tony doesn't do his own work. I believe he does. Neither one of us can offer proof over the internet; you don't live in Toronto and neither do I. I hope to go visit him (and Leo) in the near future mostly to get some Italian and Greek food, and i'll be able to determine whether Tony gets his hands dirty. Over the phone, in conversation he certainly knows his "stuff" when it comes to composites. However who cares,life is too short to spend it criticizing and having to be right and prove other wrong. i own masks by many mask makers they each have their positives and negatives. I've read all the BS on the GSBB and frankly found it tedious, a complete waste of time. I've been making masks since 1976, and i'll reveal the BEST mask ever ... it's the one you like.

Re: Article about Hand Layup versus Machine.


Tony P phoned me up this afternoon and we had quite a good chat. The whole part of hand vs machine was the idea of a marketing person. Tony was upset that i may have felt that it was directed toward me. I assured him no offence was taken. He also told me that he doesn't allow anyone past his front room. The quality of his product speaks for itself; Tony cannot keep up with the demand.

Well he for sure has confidence in his masks to do those tests that he does. To me that takes guts to do.

Re: Article about Hand Layup versus Machine.


I thought the article was good. I thought it would be good to discuss the hand versus machine layup. Pros and cons. Not sure how it could be construed as directed at anyone? Anyhow back to the original topic..
