I really should have stayed at the pub last night and gotten drunk enough to sleep. 4am this morning and I finally turned off the PC having read more about Polo than I'd ever thought existed.... I even found the origins of Chan's famous cat avatar!
A few questions:
Is there any difference between the Rik and Perro shafts?
Is there any restriction on the use of the cheater heads in competition? I'm guessing not.
I made the mistake of looking at http://www.boxwoodbicyclepolo.com/ Now I don't think wood is the answer but it has gotten me thinking about going to a 75deg angle on the shaft. I can see how it would lay the head at a much better angle on the swing and also aid dribbling, it's going to be more like a Hockey head in that regard. Any thoughts from the more seasoned players? I guess you could get that with a 3pmh head but then the bottom fixing might be a bit awkward, but then Epoxy could solve that an facilitate a modicum of solvent abuse in the process.
