Question 3

What are the key design details of this model (head, grip, and handle)?

Accepted Answer

The head is machined and polished for a smooth strike, with a domed ball pein for forming metal. The handle combines fibreglass and steel for strength, includes a cushioning end cap to reduce vibration, and an elastomer grip for comfort and control.
