D-shaped head with central alignment line and maximum perimeter weighting. The use of high-grade aluminium allows for an oversized head with most of the weight wide and deep for maximum stability. The thick topline and perpendicular central bar are designed to make it easier for you to set up squarely. Having the weight centred low and deep means the ball should get rolling more quickly.
