Hi Max, here is my story.

I first started wearing an I-Mask as soon as I started squash. My coach gave one to me and I looked at it and had no idea what it was. My first thoughts were, “ Oh, I’m going to look so retarded in this.” My coach decided to make me flick my nose because I wouldn’t stop complaining. This made me even more confused; I had no idea why he was getting me to flick my nose. He then explained to me that this is what it feels like if you got hit by the ball. Only problem is I have a high pain tolerance.

I soon noticed that it was definitely better than wearing glasses. I saw my first ever squash collision at Friday night Junior Comp. One of the girls who was wearing an I-Mask got hit in the visor by her opponents back swing and the visor just popped out and fell off. I then thought that if she had of been wearing glasses there could have been a serious injury.

I now promote wearing I-Masks to all our younger, up and coming juniors in particular speaking to the parents about all the positives and its great seeing them on the court wearing an I-Mask. At this stage I have no intentions of changing to glasses, it is too risky and asking for a serious eye injury.

Yours truly,

Alyssa McInerney

Product Feedback
Morgan is absolutely delighted with the variety of coloured bands you sent for her i-Mask – she’s been showing them off and the other squash kids were totally impressed with the range. in terms of the new sweat bands – they seem to be a big hit, easy to clean totally absorbent and very comfortable to wear compared to their predecessor.

My name is Anthony Graham and i am writing to you concerning I-masks for the up and coming European squash championships.
I have recently been invited to play for England in the coming Europeans U19 after i won the U19 British championships at the end of February. http://www.squashsite.co.uk/bjc/ This link shows the British championships 2009, where i am pictured playing all the way through to the final in an I-mask. I managed to borrow an I-mask for this event and i really enjoyed playing in it, this is why i am writing to you now.
I would really like the chance to play in another I-mask throughout the individuals and team Europeans this year. Would you be able to sponsor me with an I-mask. There will be huge coverage over squashsite and PSL live in this event and as i will be seeded highly, i would be proud to advertise such effective eye protection to all up and coming juniors!

Thank you so much for your time
and i look forward to your reply
Kind regards

Hi Max.
I Managed to win the european Championships!!! and in an Imask!!! There are some great pictures and videos on http://www.squashsite.co.uk/2009/euro_u19_2009.htm
Thank you so much for my I-mask. It kept me safe and i had top juniors watching me become european champion from all over europe in an Imask! I hope that helps you, as you have helped me. I also thanked you in my speech at the closing ceremony dinner last night.

I am now England ranked number 1 (2009) and i am European and British U19 champion. I would be more than happy for you to use my name in any advertising purpose for I-mask on websites etc. I would be proud, as i still regard I-mask to be the MOST practical, comfortable and safe eye wear available!
Thank you again Max
Kind Regards

I’ve been using I Mask for about 2 years. Initially I chose it because I was seeking eye protection that would not fog up or be prone to getting sweat droplets on the lens. For those purposes it has been brilliant, in addition to providing vastly enhanced peripheral vision over traditional goggles. This past weekend while playing the North American hard-ball doubles game (much harder, heavier, and faster ball) I took a powerfully hit ball just lateral and below my right eye – from my partner no less! Fortunately it hit the lower edge of the I-Mask; it hit so hard it cracked the lens and snapped the fasteners on the elastic strap sending my mask flying across the court. Had the ball hit my face directly, as it would have with regular goggles, I am sure I would have suffered considerable damage to the eye, and no doubt a fracture of the zeugmatic arch. As it was, the only damage was swelling and a black eye as the force of the ball flattened the plastic of the lens against my face

I’ve been playing since 1971, in the days when we didn’t wear eye protection, and never had a ball to the face. Even though I chose the I Mask for its other advantages, its superiority in face/eye protection was readily evident in this episode. Needless to say, I have another I Mask on order and won’t play again until it arrives!

Hi Max,
I’ve been promoting I-Mask all the time by wearing it everytime I play in tournaments, training, coaching lessons, fixtures even when I am training by myself or having a hit with Mum and Dad.
I also get mum to sew the patches on my squash shirts, especially my rep shirts.
I like I-Mask because it’s the only eyewear that also protects my mouth and nose, it never falls off and the colours are really cool.
Do the kids in Mayalsia wear I-Mask?

Thank you Max I will look out for the items in the mail and thank you again for your help…………..Jason

Max thank you for the quick reply, I am a very strong supporter of your product and have used it for a little over a year and would not wear anything else for eye protection and safety. The address at the end of my email is correct, in fact we communicated a little over a year ago concerning the sweat bands used in the mask. Being retired and able to play racquetball three or four time a week with a bunch of very good players the I-Mask is an essential piece of my equipment.

 

You have a very good product and one that every racquet player should use! Thank you for the replacement, I’ll pass that on to my fellow racquetball playing friends. Finding a person and (or) company who’s business model is based on integrity and product quality is harder to find now days.

 

Sincerely and thank you,
