Yes, thanks.  I will need to try one.  I've got an Ayrtek but, like you, it doesn't fit very well - the grill sits too high - though it's the best I've found so far.  I already know the Senior Masuri won't fit me, so I'm hoping to try a Senior Large when available.  'When available' is proving to be the issue.  I appreciate that Masuri have had their problems since repatriating production, and I realise they're bound to concentrate on satisfying demand from statistically 'average' heads, but you'd think they'd knock out a few in the large size.

A stockist once told me that part of the popularity of the original Masuri was that it either fitted you or it didn't; but when it did, if your head was of average size and shape, it fitted really well.  So it's interesting what you say about the adjustable back, which suggests that the Vision Series errs on being over-size, with the ability to adjust it to make it smaller.  I live in hope.

After a couple of net sessions, I have decided it is not for me. I just keep losing sight of ball because of the grill design. Putting this on ebay and looking for an old masuri or may be an Albion this time.

I am trying to decide between Masuri Vision Series Elite Steel and Adidas PremierTek steel.  I want good vision, but don't want to compromise on safely.  Any suggestions or recommendations?  Thanks!

Fork out more for the titanium version. I'm a recent convert having previously thought titanium was an unnecessary extravagance but then I picked a grille on the cheap off someone on here and my mind was blown.

Spotted this on the bay last night, having tried one on I prefer the old design Masuri's but could probably get used to one of these given time.
Will, like you, be on the lookout for an old design masuri though. (In fact I might buy two if I can get a cheap one and modify one to have an Albion interior!)

What's the difference between Masuri Vision Club Senior and Masuri Vision Elite Steel, other than other than extra bar in steel?  Is the gap same in both of them? 

I was really sold on new Masuri, but now I am having 2nd thought after reading few reviews...specially narrow vision and weight.

Club is entry level and elite is the top model (I think)
Club hasess ventilation and a powder coated (heavier) grille I'd imagine.
Not sure about the size adjustment but that may also be different.

Might want this confirming from someone who's seen both though  :)

Elite is one below the top model.

On their website they have listed the additional features as you go upwards from club.

Elite has better ventilation and I can vouch for that. If it wasn't for the vision, I will never be selling it, that said, quite a few Pros are still using it. Sports direct have some sale on old Masuri.

If your standard is average club level, stick with old Masuri.
