Do you fold your (pro,7) flex?
People say it creates bounces. I just got mine so I haven't played with it yet.

The dang mask will bounce the balls all by itself. Its not the folding that does it.

i dont see how folding it can create more bounces, bu t you can allways give it a try
honestly, i think it looks ugly that way, but if it's true, definatly go for it

I roll it pretty far up, not for bounces, but becuase it keeps it from getting all foggy, and condisationy. Its more of a breathing issue over bounces.
P.S. I havent got hit in the mouth yet, but as soon as it happens, I will most likely roll it down for a while. lol.

i'm with warpstoner. I fold it up when i'm reffing but never in games. I've gotten a few bounces off the ear pieces, and one off the mouth piece (i've only been hit in the 'mouth' once). I think it looks dumb when people from teams like Dynasty fold it ALL the way up. I just wear it up 1/2 the way when i'm reffing.

push it out and up..
and it's more for a air ventilation thing than it is to creat bounces.

Nope, you get the same amount of bounces except you get them in more places, because it covers more unfolded.
I'm so unagg with my mask, I dont fold it up and I use the chinstrap. But the chinstrap is only because I dont want my mask flying over my bunker as I'm diving. Also I don't have a problem with it fogging but you could get one if you start breathing heavily.
